I have some code written under Matlab 2009a which doesn't work under 2011b or later. This is true in both Win7 and Unix.
Essentially, using 'fprintf' with html-markers does not get interpreted when publishing code. Using 'disp' on the other hand works, but is obviously limited.
Here is a sample function:
function [] = codeToGenerateOutput()
%%Section 1
fprintf('<html><h3>This is some text</h3></html>')
fprintf('<html><a href = "http://www.mathworks.com">MathWorks Web Site</a></html>')
%%Section 2
disp('<html><h3>This is some text</h3></html>')
disp('<html><a href = "http://www.mathworks.com">MathWorks Web Site</a></html>')
Under 2009, this produces the following output when published:
Under 2011b (or 2014b), this produces the following output when published:
When viewing the source of the html, it turns out that Matlab 2011b inserts some pre class=”codeoutput” marker like this:
</h2><pre class="codeoutput"><html><h3>This is some text</h3></html><html><a href = "http://www.mathworks.com">MathWorks Web Site</a></html></pre><h2>Section 2<a name="4"></a></h2><h3>This is some text</h3></html>
<html><a href = "http://www.mathworks.com">MathWorks Web Site</a><p class="footer"><br>
Why does Matlab 2011b handle fprintf in this weird way?
Help is greatly appreciated!!
