Of course you're right. Since 'sage -docbuild blah html' also runs latex (which you can see if you put \ZZ in some docstring somewhere -- you'll get a LaTeX error about an undefined control sequence), I was hoping that latex_preamble would also affect the html output. It doesn't: pngmath_latex_preamble does, though. So I think it's easy to implement TeX macros into Sage: see <http:// trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5555>. What macros should we implement? I have \ZZ, \CC, \RR, and \QQ so far. The file $SAGE_ROOT/ devel/sage/doc/common/macros.tex has lots of other choices, way too many I think. If we can settle on a good selection, I will modify the ticket to add them.
