documentation for specific version

[javad94]

Hi, How can I view documentation for a specific PTB version without the changes introduced in the next versions? For example, I want to view documentation for version 12, but they are now updated for version 13.

hey, that is not possible with our documentation. However, it is very easy to build your own local documentation. Clone the repo, install the documentation requirements (pip install -r docs/requirements-docs.txt), checkout the release you want, then build the documentation. Its all static html pages so you can just view them in your browser.

make -C docs html or sphinx-build docs/source docs/build/html

Im not sure read the docs supports this out of the box.

They do. we only support the latest stable release & master anyway, though … But as we're now also starting to add the add in vXY info, we might consider publishing them. RTD can even add a banner showing a warning that you're on an old versions docs

FYI @javad94 at https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io you can now find all versions down to v12
