Creating LaTeX math macros within Sphinx

Question

I\'m writing some mathematical code in Python and using Sphinx to produce the documentation. I know that Sphinx can handle LaTeX code in Python docstrings; see https://www.s

To add to @Keta's answer since Aug 2018 and this commit (https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/5230/files) you can use mathjax_config in the conf.py according to the documentation (http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/math.html?#confval-mathjax_config)

So for example the following can be added,

mathjax_config = {                  
    "TeX": {                        
        "Macros": {                 
            "RR": '{\\bf R}',       
            "bold": ['{\\bf #1}',1] 
            }                       
        }                           
    }
