13 Create a Report Program

• Creating an ordered list from a cell array allows you to include items of different

types in the list.

• Creating a list from scratch is useful for including multiple objects in a list item.

Create an Ordered List from an Array

You can create an unordered list from a numeric array or cell array by including the

array in an mlreportgen.dom.OrderedList object constructor. In the cell array, you

can include strings, numbers, and some DOM objects, such as a Text object. For a list of

DOM objects you can include, see mlreportgen.dom.ListItem.

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

d = Document('orderedListReport','html');

t = Text('step 1');

ol = OrderedList({t,'step 2','step 3'});

append(d,ol);

close(d);

rptview('orderedListReport','html');

Create an Ordered List from Scratch

You can create an unordered list from scratch by creating mlreportgen.dom.ListItem

objects and appending them to an OrderedList object.

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

d = Document('orderedListReport','html');

li1 = ListItem('Create a rank 3 magic square:');

p = append(li1,Paragraph('>> magic(3)'));

p.FontFamilyName = 'Courier New';

li2 = ListItem('step 2');

li3 = ListItem('step 3');

ol = OrderedList();

append(ol,li1);

append(ol,li2);

append(ol,li3);

append(d,ol);

close(d);

rptview('orderedListReport','html');
