@Mark,

There is not, but you can try publishing to html and then open that page in your editor and re-save in the native format.

I currently don’t have Microsoft Office on my mac that I am running MatLab on. I am a student and so free OpenOffice is a lot more appealing than paying Bill his blood money. I bring this up because when I publish my code and results I don’t have the option to output as a .doc, which does make sense because I don’t have word on my computer. I was just wondering if there is a round-a-bout way to get that option or even publishing to an .ods format or something equally as easy to edit. Thank you so much for your time and help.

@indir,

which settings do you mean?

We considered making a special rule for M-file help when publishing functions, but decided against it for this first release. It’s under consideration for the future, though. Thanks for your feedback.

Publish is a wonderful feature, and I recommend it frequently to my students. 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.

Yes. 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.

When publishing to LaTex, is there a possibility to replace the Matlab default settings. For example to change the \documentclass tag or to include some header standard text using \input ?

Hi Naor,

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.

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. Maybe not “as you type”, but during publishing?
