MATLAB: Report only showing names of the objects instead of their content

documentMATLABMATLAB Report Generatorreport generator

Hello everyone!

I have a code generating a full report. But now the word file only gives me the name of the objects in the report and not the actual content like this:

Do anyone know where does this problem comes from?

My code is

rpt = Document('Report','docx');
%% title page generation
tp = TitlePage;
tp.Title = 'Report';
tp.Subtitle = 'This report is generated from the test.';
tp.Author = 'Jack'
append(rpt, tp);
%% Summary 
ChapterRegression = Chapter;
ChapterRegression.Title = 'Summary';
append(rpt, ChapterRegression)
close(rpt)

My dotx template just have one Rich Text Content Control hole.

Thank you in advance!

You can not add Report API objects like TitlePage to a DOM Document. Use mlreportgen.report.Report instead of the DOM Document. You can add both DOM and Report API objects to a Report object.

Hi Martin,

It looks like you are using the Report API to create report, but using the Report Explorer application to create the custom template.

In Report API, each reporter has its own default template whose copy can be created by using the reporter's createTemplate() method. For example, if you want to create a copy of the Section reporter's default template, use mlreportgen.report.Section.createTemplate method.

Thanks,

To generate a report from a DOM-based document object:

Derive your report class from mlreportgen.dom.Document class, for example

% MyReport.m
class MyReport < mlreportgen.dom.Document
    method
       function rpt = MyReport(name)
          rpt@mlreportgen.dom.Document(name, 'docx', 'MyTemplate');
       end
    end
end

Provide a public fill<HOLEID> method for each hole in your report template, where HOLEID is the name of the hole, for example,

    class MyReport < mlreportgen.dom.Document
        method
           function rpt = MyReport(name)
              rpt@mlreportgen.dom.Document(name, 'docx', 'MyTemplate');
           end
           % This method is called by mlreportgen.dom.Document's fill method.
           % Do not call it yourself.
           function fillReportDate(rpt)
               append(rpt, date);
           end
        end
    end

Create a report program (i.e., script or function) to run the report.
In the report program, create an instance of your report class and call its fill method (inherited from mlreportgen.dom.Document class), for example,

% runMyReport.m
rpt = MyReport('myreport');
fill(rpt);
rptview(rpt.OutputPath);
