Maybe I was unclear in my question. I want to make cell breaks within a function.

I.e. exactly what is done in this video 1:23 min into the video.

How do I do that single operation?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

select your text then right click with your mouse, you will find what you want

Add two % signs followed by a space

%%Hello Section (formerly known as cell)

The rest of the cell (now called sections) menu stuff is under the "Publish Tab" in the editor.

Alright, so sections is the same as cells. How do I select "evaluate current cell"?

[Sean de Wolski]

It's the "Run Section" button on the right end of the editor tab:

When I click "Run" the whole function runs, not just the current cell. How do I evaluate just the current cell, not the rest of the function?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

select your text then click f9

Good change - it was probably a bad, ambiguous, and confusing choice to ever call sections "cells" in the first place. It's bad enough that Excel and MATLAB both use the term cell for different things.

But anyway, if you're in a section, you can click Run and Advance to move execution to the start of the next section.

Your answers are appreciated. I just have one more question about this. How do you find and use the menu and operations that are used here? 1:36 minutes into the video.

[Sean de Wolski]

Put the cursor near a number, right click and select "Increment Value and Run Section" - the first option in the menu.

Max, in the EDIT section in the main toolstrip in MATLAB hit [Insert], and there you go.
