Font size in Help browser and Web browser
The Help browser and Web browser now allow you to zoom in and out to adjust the font
size by pressing Ctrl and + or .
In-product access to online documentation
From within the product, you can access either the installed documentation or the
documentation on the Web. By default, your Help preference is set to view the installed
documentation. If you change the preference to view the Web documentation, then you
can choose to view documentation for products that you do not have installed.
Searches using the doc command
In previous releases, if you passed a term to the doc command that did not correspond
to the name of a MathWorks reference page or to a file with help text, the doc command
issued an error. Now, the doc command searches the documentation for the term, and
displays the search results in the Help browser.
Improved rendering in Help browser and Web browser
The new Help browser uses a different rendering engine than the previous Help browser.
This engine provides improved legibility, particularly on Microsoft Windows 64-bit
systems.
The MATLAB Web browser also uses this rendering engine on all platforms. In previous
releases, the Web browser used this engine only on Microsoft Windows systems.
This rendering engine is not fully supported on Red Hat
®
5 operating systems, so not all
Help features are available on those systems. For example:
Search suggestions are available from the search bar in the desktop, but not within
the Help browser.
Some components of the search results page are not available, such as filtering.
The Help browser can display installed product documentation, but not the
documentation on the Web.
