Creating documentation for a compiled Matlab Application

Hi -

I would like to create documentation for a compiled Matlab application that i created. I am using the mcc (filename.m) -m to create the application.........and i have a couple *.HTML files that show how to use the application.

Is there any built in "searchable documentation" routines in matlab so a user of my EXE could search around in them?

I looked at builddocsearchdb but that didnt seem to work

any ideas?

I don't believe that the MATLAB Compiler Runtime libraries ship with the MATLAB help/web browser which provides searchability. However, you should be able to include your HTML files in the application and provide links using the web('link', '-web') command so that when the user clicks on it, the files will be opened in their default browser.

i saw you work on the Mathworks team - can you submit (a searchable browser) as a user request? ;)

Darin: I would encourage you to write to [e-mail] and ask them to put in an enhancement request for you. We do take customer requests more seriously than internal requests. :)

I assume this still doesn't work? Perhaps it could be documented that

builddocsearchdb

is not compilable. Like here:

Hi,

Look in the MATLAB User's Guide under

Create Help and Demos -> Add Documentation to the Help Browser
