closes #15469

I did see pngmath was deprecated. Is this needed for anything else though? can you build locally and give a check? (you can just ping here if ok)

[jorisvandenbossche]

So indeed pngmath is deprecated. We have to choose between sphinx.ext.imgmath or sphinx.ext.mathjax as described below. I would personally go with mathjax (you don't need latex install for building the docs, but it renders only if you are online, but for html docs I think this is OK)

@jorisvandenbossche ok on merging this?

[jorisvandenbossche]

Yep. Fixed the whitespace before merging.

@cdemulde Thanks!
(btw, you should set your editor settings to not introduce tabs, but 4 spaces instead of tab)

I restarted this twice and failed at the same point :<

The problem with the parallel building is that it just says "waiting for workers" instead of giving output, so difficult to see what is going on. In any case, this worked locally. Will try with more verbose output.

[jreback]

maybe add -v for now? and certainly take out -j 2 as not helping :<
