Add `download.html` to RtD visual diff ignored files · Issue #190 · python/docs-community · GitHub

I propose ignoring download.html, as currently due to the "Last updated" line the file shows up in the automated RtD comment on every PR in CPython:

This can only be done via the online RtD UI, per the documentation.

I like this idea.

Thanks Hugo!

Shall we also ignore files like these?

They are also noise, +1.

Okay, now ignoring:

contents.html
download.html
genindex-*.html

PEP PRs such as python/peps#4965 show lots of changes:

702 files changed · ± 702 modified

I suspect this is due to the timestamp in the footer, and that the footer isn't really in a <footer> and looks like body text.
