The API documentation for the LTS stuff is a little hidden on the site -- you have to either know the LTS doc URL or always enter it from the front door, whereas nodejs.org/api is quite easy to remember.

It would be really nice if the documentation for the "live" release had a link on that page to the relevant documentation for the LTS version (if it exists).

The postgres documentation is actually an excellent example of this:

Each page has a link to various other supported (and even non-supported!) versions which makes it very easy to hop to the correct version that you're using.

This is a great idea! I've added the good first contribution tag

Sounds good to me +1

Let's give new contributors a chance to write this and do this ourselves if no one steps up.

I'll take a stab at this if that's alright. It'd probably be best to build it into doc/template.html right?

This has an open PR for it, so I'm going to remove the "good first contribution" label to keep it from showing up for people who are looking for something that is available. Feel free to re-add the label if you think that's misguided of me.

doc: add links to alternative versions of doc

Each page of the api documentation should have links to other versions
of the same page. This will make it easier to switch between the current
"live" release at nodejs.org and LTS versions.
