ok. Though you probably should ask them first if it's a requirement,
before you threaten as I don't believe I've heard it being one.

Certainly compiling code is. For docs I don't remember even being
asked that. I'd hope the projects would look at the docs and what
they need and decide whether the precreated docs are fine or they
need to generate them. Certainly I'd never tell anyone to go port
some form of TeX, I think I'd risk not being able to patch documentation
easily.
