build succeeded, 582 warnings.

The HTML pages are in _build/html.
Sphinx-Gallery gallery_conf["plot_gallery"] was False, so no examples were executed.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Makefile:63: recipe for target 'html-noplot' failed
make: *** [html-noplot] Error 2

Moreover, it required matplotlib as a dependencies which is not in doc/requirements.txt.

make html-noplot finally worked in a clean environment.

ToDo

• add missing matplotlib dependency to doc/readme_first.md
