Versioned docs

[marvinroger]

There could be some sort of version picker that would show all available tags on the repo (with a regex pattern for example) and show the according docs. That would be great!

Does something like this work for you?

It would, but having to duplicate the previous docs just does not feel right! If you have a rather large docs with pictures, it would quickly fill up the git repo.

[egoist]

Hmm, I don't understand what you mean, I think docs for different versions can share assets like images, nothing is really duplicated.

[marvinroger]

That's right, we can share the assets. But still, the markdown files would be duplicated, as we have to create a new folder each time we release a new version.

Here's how I envision it:

• Docute would fetch the list of tag for the repo: https://api.github.com/repos/egoist/docute/tags
• It would then show a picker with each tag corresponding to a regex pattern (semver for example)
• It would then fetch the corresponding files via GitHub, e.g. for v2.9.3: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egoist/docute/v2.9.3/docs/README.md

It's just an idea, I understand if you would not want to go in that direction.

gotcha, that makes sense to me, I will try to implement this in the weekend

Hey @egoist . Great job with Docute.

Just wondering if there's been any update on this?

Cheers.

I'd like this functionality as well! @egoist have you made any progress on it? Do we agree on @marvinroger approach?

[egoist]

@markadrake not yet, but thesource option could be a workaound https://docute.js.org/#/home?id=custom-source

Cleaning up my issues, and I see that this project is not maintained anymore, genuine thanks for all your awesome projects @egoist!
