Improved Instructions and Examples for Adding Help and Demos to the Help Browser
The MATLAB documentation now includes more details about how to display your own
HTML help and demos. In particular, the documentation clarifies procedures for setting
up files and folders and provides three new XML file templates that you can inspect,
copy, and modify.
The documentation also adds a new complete working example, called the Upslope Area
Toolbox. Documentation for the toolbox includes a getting started guide, user guide,
function reference pages, and release notes. The documentation set is generated entirely
from MATLAB script files (also provided), using the publish command. The example
folder includes all program files for the toolbox. However, certain routines require Image
Processing Toolbox for full functionality.
You can also find the Upslope Area Toolbox on the MATLAB Central File Exchange.
For more information about techniques and algorithms the toolbox uses, see the set
of articles about it on this MATLAB Central blog: http://blogs.mathworks.com/steve/
category/upslope-area.
Find the updated documentation in Create Help and Demos. For details, XML templates,
and examples, see these subsections:
• Add Documentation to the Help Browser
• Add Demos to the Help Browser
You can view the Upslope Toolbox documentation example in the Help browser now by
clicking here, which places its folder on the search path.
New Search Hints
The Help Browser now provides suggestions for search terms as you type in the search
field. These hints save you time and can suggest words and phrases you might not
have thought of but that can be useful in making a search. The hints display as a drop-
down menu that changes its contents as you type. The following illustration shows the
appearance of the menu.
