Thanks for the suggestion. I used the instructions on
https://blog.readthedocs.com/custom-css-and-js-in-sphinx/
to add a style sheet and it worked.
To be specific, I added the file _static/css/custom.css with the following
text:
/* preamble used to add hidden class */
.hidden {
display: None;
}
I changed my latex macro to
.. rst-class:: hidden
:math:`\newcommand{\B}[1]{ {\bf #1} }`
I added the following at the end of my conf.py
# -- These folders are copied to the documentation's HTML output
------------
html_static_path = [ '_static' ]
# -- These paths are either relative to html_static_path
--------------------
# or fully qualified paths (eg. https://...)
html_css_files = [
'css/custom.css',
]
