Feature #15138

Updated by Peter Amstutz almost 5 years ago

We should support building multiple documentation versions (stable releases, master) and switching between them. 

 New jenkins job that takes a git ref (tag or 'master') and builds documentation for that version. 

 # git checkout target version 
 # Get list of all tags in git + 'master' 
 # build documentation 
 ## parameter for version being built 
 ## parameter listing all versions 
 ## populate dropdown menu with links to each version 
 # upload documentation to doc server at a target version directory 

 development tasks: 
 * documentation lists selected version, dropdown menu links to every version 

 ops task:  
 * jenkins job to generate documentation for target version (either as part of build pipeline or release process) 

 TBD: static menus won't include links to newer versions unless they are regenerated.    Accept that is the case, regenerate everything each time or use javascript/ajax to populate menu contents?
