Examples—Published MATLAB examples associated with your

toolbox. To include .m and .mlx files as examples, click the Add

examples button, select your code file, and click Publish HTML.

MATLAB publishes the code to HTML and places the output files in

the html folder.

Alternatively, you can manually publish code files to HTML in

MATLAB and then include the code files and the HTML files in your

toolbox folder.

• For a live script (.mlx) example, export it to HTML. On the Live
  Editor tab, select Save > Export to HTML and save it in a
  folder named html.


• For a script (.m) example, publish it to HTML with the publish
  function. Do not specify an output folder when publishing your
  examples. For the Package a Toolbox tool to recognize the
  examples, the output folder must be the default folder (html).

To create different categories for your examples, place the

examples in different subfolders within your toolbox folder. When

you add your toolbox folder to the Package a Toolbox dialog box,

MATLAB creates a demos.xml file to describe your examples, and

takes the example subfolder name as the example category name.

Alternatively, you can create your own demos.xml file. The

demos.xml file allows recipients to access your examples through

the Supplemental Software link at the bottom of the Help

browser home page. For more information, see “Display Custom

Examples” on page 30-37.
