It's under consideration for the future, though. Thanks for your feedback.

Publishing a function (without execution) is very convenient for generating easy to read documentation. Of course there are issues. To get a nice looking published result from a function, you seem to have to put the header comment block above the function line. (See the example in the R2008a documentation.) This is not harmful but goes against many years of practice. Since MATLAB can recognize a function and even extract its name, it seems that functions could be handled more smoothly.

When a M-file is published to LaTex, we create a XML-file , which is then transformed to the TEX-file using a stylesheet. This stylesheet is in $MATLABROOT\toolbox\matlab\codetools\private\mxdom2latex.xsl. I recommend copying that XSL-file locally, modifying it to suit your needs, and then specify that as the stylesheet in Publish Configurations. Yes.

I too have wished for such a feature - mainly for spell checking comments. There is a feature request for this, which I’ll add your comments to.

Maybe not "as you type", but during publishing? I know this isn’t a common feature of development environments, but I have often wished for some type of spelling check in the matlab editor.
