Share Live Scripts and Functions
You can share live scripts and functions with others for teaching or demonstration
purposes, or to provide readable, external documentation of your code. You can share the
files with other MATLAB users, or you can share static PDF, Microsoft Word, HTML, and
LaTeX versions of the files for viewing outside of MATLAB.This table shows the different ways to share live scripts and functions.Ways to Share Instructions
As an interactive document Distribute the live code file (.mlx).
Recipients of the file can open and view the
file in MATLAB in the same state that you
last saved it in. This includes generated
output.MATLAB supports live scripts in Versions
R2016a and above, and live functions in
Versions R2018a and above.
As a full screen presentation Open the live script or function, go to the
View tab and click the Full Screen button.
MATLAB opens the file in full screen mode.To exit out of full screen mode, move the
mouse to the top of the screen to display
the View tab and click the Full Screen
button again.
With users of previous MATLAB versions Save the live script or function as a plain
code file (.m) and distribute it. Recipients of
the file can open and view the file in
MATLAB. MATLAB converts formatted
content from the live script or function to
publish markup in the new script or
function.For more information, see “Save Live
Scripts and Functions as Plain Code” on
