+## Generate documentation
+
+Note on documentation: The source files contain links to the online documentation at https://json.nlohmann.me.
+This URL provides the most recent documentation and also applies to previous versions. Documentation for deprecated
+functions is not removed; instead, it is marked as deprecated.
+
+If you want to view the documentation for a specific tag or commit hash, you can generate it locally as follows (example
+using tag `v3.10.2`):
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/nlohmann/json.git
+cd json
+git checkout v3.10.2
+make install_venv serve -C docs/mkdocs
+```
+
+Open <http://127.0.0.1:8000/> in your browser. Replace any URL in the source code that points to
+`https://json.nlohmann.me` with `http://127.0.0.1:8000` to view the documentation for the selected tag or commit hash.
