Save report HTML file from HTMX

Hi there,

How do I save an HTML report as an HTML file?

import mlreportgen.report.*
reportPath = fullfile(pwd, 'MyReportName');
rpt = mlreportgen.report.Report(reportPath,'html');
ch = Chapter;
ch.Title = 'Title string';
myReportTable = mlreportgen.dom.FormalTable(cellArrayOfStrings,matlabTable);
add(ch,myReportTable);
add(rpt,ch);
rptview(rpt)

When I generate a PDF report (in the code above, line 3 would have 'pdf' instead of 'html' as input), it saves the PDF file at the location of reportPath, but when I generate it in HTML format, the file created is HTMX which I cannot open outside of MATLAB.

Thanks in advance.

Heard of publish() ?

Unfortunately this does not help. I am not trying to publish MATLAB code, I am trying to get the report file from the report generation toolbox.

In the code above, if line 3 were changed to

rpt = mlreportgen.report.Report(reportPath,'pdf');

then rpt would exist as a PDF file that can be opened independent of MATLAB.

However, if rpt is created for HTML, then its file extension is .htmx, not .html. I would like it to be HTML.

Similarly, using

docobj = mlreportgen.utils.HTMXDoc([reportPath '.htmx']);
show(docobj);

does not save an HTML file, it merely opens the htmx somehow as root.html but I would have to manually save it from the window, whereas I want to programmatically save the HTML file.

To generate a report as a single HTML file, set the report type to html-file.

rpt = mlreportgen.report.Report(reportPath,'html-file');

Yes! Thank you! Not sure how I missed that.
