Currently, math expressions using the "math::" directive or the ":math:" role of Sphinx need the imgmath extension for proper rendering in html and epub builds. imgmath requires dvipng (and latex). Otherwise, "make htmldocs" will complain of missing commands. As a matter of fact, the mathjax extension is loaded by default since Sphinx v1.8 and it is good enough for html docs without any dependency on texlive packages. Stop loading the imgmath extension for html docs unless requirements for imgmath are met. To find out whether required commands are available, add a helper find_command(), which is a wrapper of shutil.which(). For epub docs, keep the same behavior of always loading imgmath.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
