MATLAB: Is it possible to use (publish) markup inside nested functions

markupMATLABMATLAB Report Generatornested functionpublish

Hi all,

I have the following function

   function test1
%%Individual sample reports
reportSample;
%%overall summary
reportSummary
      function reportSample
          for i = 1 : 5
              disp( [ '<html><h3>sample ' num2str( i ) '</h3><hr></html>' ] );
          end  
      end
      function reportSummary
          disp( [ '<html><h3>summary</h3><hr></html>' ] );
      end
  end

When I attempt to publish this function this yields the following report

The problem is that the heading 'overall summary'appears directly after the heading 'Individual summary reports' even though the html referencing the individual summaries has not been published. Is it possible to force the publishing of the contents of the nested functions so that the correct ordering is achieved, i.e. the individual report summaries come before the overall summary?

Best wishes,

John

Also note that if you're trying to do fancy markup, you may be better off with the report generator that gives you really fine control over everything. It's kind of the whole point of the product.

MATLAB: Publish a HTML table on the fly

I figured out what was wrong, in case someone else is having a similar problem it seems that you can only display html directly after the publish %% markup if you want it to be properly published...

So this works:

htmlTable = GTHTMLtable(...);
disp(['' htmlTable ']);

but this doesn't:

htmlTable = GTHTMLtable(...);
disp(['' htmlTable ']);

MATLAB: Is there a way to create subsections using ‘publish’

There is no special syntax for creating subsections/subheadings using the 'publish' feature, like there is for creating main section headings. However, you can create subsections by specifically including the {h3} tag in your document surrounded by {html} tags. For example:

%% Main Section
% H2 tags are used to denote main sections.
% But you can specifically write H3 tags using HTML, for example:
%

% <html><h3>Sub Section</h3></html>
%
% This text will be in a sub-section.

If you want to change the formatting of the subheading, you can do that by modifying the CSS information included in the XSL stylesheet that does the transformation into HTML. Then you can instruction 'publish' to use the custom stylesheet using the 'stylesheet' input parameter.

publish('fcn.m','stylesheet','mystylesheet.xsl')

The default stylesheet can be found by executing the following command in MATLAB:

which -all mxdom2simplehtml.xsl

The subsection will not be automatically included in the table of contents, but you may be able to add the subsections to the table of contents by modifying the XSL stylesheet.

As an alternative to the 'publish' feature, the MATLAB Report Generator can be used to generate much more complicated and elaborate reports based on your data. You may find that it is better suited for your needs than the 'publish' function. For more information on the MATLAB Report Generator, please visit the following link:
