Hi Deb,

This is actually a bug, which I had the publishing team verify. Thanks for reporting this!

Is there also a limitation as to how many characters or how long the latex code is?

I am trying to create a matrix equation in my final published document. The dimensions of the matrices in the equation are:

[11x11] x [11x1] = [11x1]

I can create a 9×9 matrix, but I can not get the 11×11 matrix to publish.

Thanks,
-Deb

Though it may have changed depending upon when you read this.

Hosein,
Forgive me if I misunderstood your question, but you have to first enable cell mode in order to use the insert mark up commands.

The subscribe window of the “Insert Mark Up” is gray. How should I active them?

Daniel,
Yes it is a limitation in PUBLISH that you can not mix HTML with other types of markup. Hopefully you can use the html-equivalent if you need specific formatting. Can you email me your second example M-file so I can understand the issue better?

Oh, bummer. The HTML got lost in the process.. Well, I think my descriptions are clear enough as it is.

Hi.
I was very impressed with this possibility when I first read about it, but now that I try to use it for the first time I have noticed two unwanted behaviours that together are so severe as to classify them as bugs from my perspective.

1) It seems not to be possible to mix HTML and non-html within the comments for a single cell. For example:

%% Test
%
% onetwo
%
% Hello World!

2) If the extra text is placed within the html block, it is formated very differently from the way normal comments are, specifically the line-length is not at all the same. For example:

%% Test 1
% It can be argued, though it is not possible to verify
% without the original calbox which was not sent back to
% without the original calbox which was not sent back to
%% Test2
%
% onetwo
% It can be argued, though it is not possible to verify
% without the original calbox which was not sent back to
% without the original calbox which was not sent back to
%

When studying the HTML output from these examples, it seems Mathworks has chosen quite a sloppy approach to the problem, using the extreme forgivingness of most HTML browsers to allow the HTML markup. Unfortunately this leads to HTMl which looks like a rats-nest and whose results are far from predictable.

Sincerely
Daniel Armyr
