Technical Support Requests Use Proxy Settings
You can submit Technical Support requests from MATLAB by selecting Help > Submit
a MathWorks Support Request. In previous releases, if you were connected to the
Internet via a proxy server, you had to save the request form to a text file, and then
email it to MathWorks. Starting with R2012a, you can submit the request directly from
the form.
Published Code Can Display Syntax Highlighted Sample Code
When you publish MATLAB code, you can have sample code appear with syntax
highlighting. Sample code is code that appears within comments. Previously, only
uncommented code appeared with syntax highlighting.
For details, see Syntax Highlighted Sample Code. For a video demo, see Syntax
Highlighting for Commented MATLAB Code in Published Scripts in Release 2012a.
Compatibility Considerations
Previously, to publish preformatted text (without syntax highlighting), MATLAB
required two or more spaces between the comment character (%) and the first text
character in a code cell comment block. Now, to publish such text, there must be two,
four, or more spaces in that location. Three spaces results in syntax highlighted sample
code.
The publish Function Accepts Name-Value Pairs
You can customize the output from the publish function using Name-Value pair
arguments. Previously, to customize the output from this function, you had to use a
structure. You now can use either a structure or Name-Value pair arguments. For
details, see publish.

Displaying Non-7-Bit ASCII Characters on Mac OS X Platforms
On Apple Mac OS X platforms, you might see garbled text if you try to use non-7-bit
ASCII characters. For example, if you create a variable in the MATLAB command
