Build docs

Sphinx build needs

• ImageMagick
• Graphviz
• XeTeX
• dvisvgm

Most of the sphinx requirements are installed from setup.py and the docs can be build from scratch with make docs. For better math and image processing additional packages are needed. The XeTeX needed not only for PDF creation, its also needed for math when HTML output is build.

To be able to do sphinx:math-support without CDNs, the math are rendered as images (sphinx.ext.imgmath extension).

Here is the extract from the docs/conf.py file, setting math renderer to imgmath:

../conf.py

If your docs build (make docs) shows warnings like this:

WARNING: dot(1) not found, for better output quality install \
         graphviz from http://www.graphviz.org
..
WARNING: LaTeX command 'latex' cannot be run (needed for math \
         display), check the imgmath_latex setting

you need to install additional packages on your build host, to get better HTML output.

Ubuntu / debian

$ sudo apt install graphviz imagemagick texlive-xetex librsvg2-bin

Arch Linux

$ sudo pacman -S graphviz imagemagick texlive-bin extra/librsvg

Fedora / RHEL

$ sudo dnf install graphviz graphviz-gd texlive-xetex-bin librsvg2-tools

For PDF output you also need:

Ubuntu / debian

$ sudo apt texlive-latex-recommended texlive-extra-utils ttf-dejavu

Arch Linux

$ sudo pacman -S texlive-core texlive-latexextra ttf-dejavu

Fedora / RHEL

$ sudo dnf install \
   texlive-collection-fontsrecommended texlive-collection-latex \
dejavu-sans-fonts dejavu-serif-fonts dejavu-sans-mono-fonts \
