+.. sidebar:: Sphinx build needs
+
+   - ImageMagick_
+   - Graphviz_
+   - XeTeX_
+   - dvisvgm_
+
+Most of the sphinx requirements are installed from :origin:`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 :ref:`math` when HTML output is build.
+
+To be able to do :ref:`sphinx:math-support` without CDNs, the math are rendered
+as images (``sphinx.ext.imgmath`` extension).  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.
