Enable Read The Docs Autobuild for Pull Requests

[jtpio]

It would be nice if we could enable the "Autobuild Documentation for Pull Requests" feature of Read the Docs for this repo.

As an example, this was recently enabled in voila:

• Build the documentation on CI voila-dashboards/voila#649
• Remove extra > in the customizing docs voila-dashboards/voila#650 (comment)

And it looks like this:

Clicking on Details redirects to the built docs with a warning header at the top:

To make it work, we need to make sure to (if not already):

add 'jupyter-widgets' org in https://readthedocs.org/accounts/social/connections/

(from voila-dashboards/voila#650 (comment)).

This might also make it easier to contribute documentation changes.

👍 This would be really useful in ipyleaflet as well.

Mentioning a couple more owners of the jupyter-widgets organization who could help with this:

@jasongrout @SylvainCorlay @vidartf @mwcraig

Thanks!

Looks like I'm not a maintainer on RTD. If I'm added I'm happy to flip the switch. This feature is really convenient.

@jtpio I added a RTD webhook here, and updated the builds with RTD. We should now have autobuilds on new merges. Closing this.

[willingc]

Oops I resolved the autobuilds on merge. The autobuild on PR is still needed.

[willingc]

OK. I've now enabled autobuild on PRs in the RTD advanced settings under Admin.
