Is there a hook that will allow me to change the document style and/or add packages to the latex file produced by the publish(...,'latex') command?

I'm preparing notes for a class on numerical analysis. I would like to use the publish command to create a latex file that includes markup more sophisticated than matlab's embedded tex processor can handle, which I can then run through latex directly to produce class notes and handouts. Is there a hook that will allow me to change the document style and/or add packages to the latex file produced by the publish(...,'latex') command (and, so, save me the manual step of adding these by hand after the publish command produces the .tex file)?

Hi,

You have just to put your own XSL file.

For instance:

publish('General.m','format','latex','stylesheet','/FullPath/mydom2latex.tex') where mydom2latex.tex is my own mxdom2latex.xsl, the default file using by matlab.

I add \usepackage{listings} and colours, some package and encoding for UTF8 french and it works...

So I attach files.

I am not sure if the following will help you: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/88491-latex-support-to-publish-in-html-format

If not then see http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/52340-why-do-deep-paths-in-usepackage-cause-texmex-to-crash-segmentation-violation. Or perhaps easier: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/283068

See also http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/170464-importing-matlab-figures-into-latex for a caution.

Thanks for the references. In my case, however, I'm not interested in html: I want the latex file produced by the command

publish('foo.m','latex')

to have a specified set of \documentstyle and \usepackage commands. It's my intent to run these through (pdf)latex to produce a set of notes that I will post as pdf files.

The second and third links show you how to augment the MATLAB latex processing to recognize additional packages.
