From 09336e48d20993beb3a0bb33110c4a58f1c40827 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Frost Date: Sun, 26 May 2024 11:21:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add html_baseurl to sphinx conf.py (#12364) This is used to set the tag that points to the canonical version of the webpage. Including this indicates to search engines which version to include in their indexes, and should prevent older versions showing up.
