Create info.xml File

The info.xml file describes your custom documentation, including the name to display

for your documentation. It also identifies where to find your HTML help files and the

helptoc.xml file. Create a file named info.xml for each toolbox you document.

To create info.xml to describe your toolbox, you can adapt this template:

<productinfo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="optional">

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"href="optional"?>

<matlabrelease>R2016b</matlabrelease>

<name>MyToolbox</name>

<type>toolbox</type>

<icon></icon>

<help_location>html</help_location>

</productinfo>

You can also create info.xml by using the template info_template.xml included with

the MATLAB documentation. To create and edit a copy of the template file in your current

folder, run this code in the command window:

copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,'help','techdoc','matlab_env',...

'examples','templates','info_template.xml'),pwd)

fileattrib('info_template.xml','+w')

edit('info_template.xml')

The following table describes the required elements of the info.xml file.
