You can do something like:

.. raw::: latex
    (expression)

You'll have to provide your html equivalent on your own (with .. raw:: 
html).  A directive could be created that would render a latex 
expression as an image in other contexts; I don't know if one exists. 
It's possible it already does somewhere.
