MATLAB: How to publish a MATLAB file that contains LaTex code in the same line as the text to HTML

htmlinline()latexMATLABpublish

I want to publish a mathematical equation using the LaTeX format. The equation is in a line that includes some other text as well. For example I want to publish something similar to the following:

 \alpha is a variable.

This enhancement has been incorporated in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008b) with the addition of the markup symbol "$" for inline math, similar to "*" for bold.

For previous releases of MATLAB, the ability to publish an MATLAB file to HTML format with LaTeX code inline with the text is not available. Prior to R2008b, LaTeX code must be in a seperate paragraph in order to be able to publish it.

An alternative workaround is to publish to LaTeX (rather than HTML) and then removing the following lines from private/mxdom2latex.xsl:

 <xsl:template match="text()"> 
   <!-- Escape special characters in text --> 
   <xsl:call-template name="replace"> 
     <xsl:with-param name="string" select="."/> 
   </xsl:call-template> 
 </xsl:template>

MATLAB uses an XSL stylesheet to do the conversion. To remove the Paragraph environment, modify the XSL stylesheet accordingly. For example, see steps below:

1) Execute the following MATLAB commands:

% The directory containing the stylesheet
ssdir = fullfile(matlabroot, 'toolbox', 'matlab', 'codetools', 'private');
% Make a backup of the old stylesheet
copyfile(fullfile(ssdir,'mxdom2latex.xsl'),fullfile(ssdir,'mxdom2latex.xsl.old'))

2) Open 'mxdom2latex.xsl' from 'ssdir' directory in MATLAB:

edit([ssdir filesep 'mxdom2latex.xsl'])

3) Near line 104 in ‘mxdom2latex.xsl’, you will see the following:

<!-- HTML Tags in text sections -->
<xsl:template match="p">\begin{par}
<xsl:apply-templates/><xsl:text>
\end{par} \vspace{1em}
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

Remove \begin{par}, \end{par}, and \vspace{1em}:

<xsl:template match="p">
   <xsl:apply-templates/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

4) Save the changes

5) Publish to LaTeX

MATLAB: How to edit Latex text in MATLAB

MATLAB does not ship with a tool that specifically edits Latex/Tex text. One would have to know the Latex/Tex syntax to edit the text.

There is a MATLAB Central submission that can enable you to edit Latex/Tex text without explicitly knowing the syntax. You can find this web submission at the following URL:

<http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=11946&objectType=file>

An example showing how to publish a document with Latex from a MATLAB file is illustrated in the following link:
