:math: directive renamed to :mathmpl:ΒΆThe :math: rst role provided by matplotlib.sphinxext.mathmpl has been
renamed to :mathmpl: to avoid conflicting with the :math: role that
Sphinx 1.8 provides by default. (:mathmpl: uses Matplotlib to render math
expressions to images embedded in html, whereas Sphinx uses MathJax.)
When using Sphinx<1.8, both names (:math: and :mathmpl:) remain
available for backcompatibility.
