Latex output is broken

[mattip]

First reported on numpy/numpy#11753. Our conf.py is set up to use latex tools to create images from latex input strings. This works find on numpy.org but not on scipy.org. It is not clear to me where the output from running the install scripts goes, on the NumPy repo there is a circleci job to build the documentation. Perhaps the latex tools are missing from the machine that builds, i.e. can someone run dvisvgm on the build machine and see that the executable is runnable there? Should we add a check for the command line tools to the Makefile and fail if they do not exist?

I think the documentation files are typically built by the release manager of the release in question (or someone else designated, maybe @rgommers), on their own machine. A point that could be systematized, perhaps.

https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.ndarray.html#internal-memory-layout-of-an-ndarray looks fine now. I'm unclear on exactly what the problem is/was.

and yes, I usually build the numpy docs for a new release. the issue that is no longer present seems to have been with the numpy docs hosted on docs.scipy.org. so the right issue tracker is the numpy one. so I will close this; follow-up discussion can be done at the still open numpy/numpy#11753 (I'll comment there)
