Summary

versioning doesn't appear on setup (serve locally) - I'm not sure that it's a bug, but I was asked to make it a bug: https://github.com/jimporter/mike/issues/183

1. install mkdocs ( https://www.mkdocs.org/getting-started/ )
2. run git init

4. change the title (or something else) and git add . and git commit -am "some message"
5. run mike deploy 14.62 LATEST
6. run mike deploy 16.61 (added this one to have at least to versions in the mike version list)
7. run mike set-default LATEST
8. run mike serve (or mkdocs serve)

Expected Behavior

Additional Context

With the default theme (mkdocs):

With the material theme (https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/getting-started/):
