Research direction

Start by comparing the deployment repository's source/conf.py and extensions/rapids_version_templating.py, then search this docs repository for hard-coded stable and nightly RAPIDS versions. Determine how the documentation build can apply equivalent templating and verify that release changes no longer require editing each version instance manually.

Description

feature request

Across the docs we have instances where we need need to specify rapids versions and those will change depending on if they are stable or nightly, but they will also change every time there is a release.

For example in a case like

conda create -n rapids-26.04 -c rapidsai-nightly -c conda-forge rapids=26.04 python=3.13 'cuda-version>=13.0,<=13.1.1'

In the deployment repo we do it via:

https://github.com/rapidsai/deployment/blob/4bc97baef108058700218ee173019de9f3c10d87/source/conf.py#L25-L70

https://github.com/rapidsai/deployment/blob/main/extensions/rapids_version_templating.py
