Matlab as LaTeX interpreter?

I work for the Navy. We are not allowed to have a LaTeX interpreter installed on our regular work laptops. We can have Matlab though. It there a way to easily use Matlab as a LaTeX interpreter?

I should state my goal more clearly: I want to create documents using Matlab as my LaTeX interpreter. Otherwise, I am stuck with Word. :/

publish() can get part way but awkward I would think.

To a limited extent at least, yes.

See the text (link) documentation section on Interpreter (link).

[Walter Roberson]

However it is not a good latex interpreter. Support for packages is very sparse which prevents using even basic amsmath

[Jason]

Looks like Matlab can use LaTeX syntax somewhat but not sure if it's what I'm looking for. I'll play with it some. BTW: I'm pretty new to Matlab and my LaTeX is very old and rusty.

The current LaTeX reference is: The (Not So) Short Introduction to LaTeX2e_lshort.pdf

[Jason]

Thanks for that!

It's not a Matlab answer, because I don't think there is a good way.

Why not use the portable version of MikTex? Does not need installation. If you are allowed to have the files (or even allowed to attach a usb stick), you should be able to use this.
