Creating custom documentation in MATLAB is possible in the form of HTML help files.  The custom documentation must contain the following files:

   1. HTML help files — These files contain your custom documentation information.

   2. info.xml file — This file enables MATLAB to find and identify your HTML help files.

   3. helptoc.xml file — This file contain the Table of Contents for your documentation that displays in the Contents pane of the Help browser. This file must be stored in the folder that contains your HTML help files.

   4. Search database (optional) — These files enable searching in your HTML help files.

For more information on creating HTML help files, "info.xml" files, and "helptoc.xml" files and on building a search database please refer to the following documentation page:

Please run the below command in the command window of installed MATLAB R2019a version to get release specific documentation

>> web(fullfile(docroot, 'matlab/matlab_prog/display-custom-documentation.html'))

To view your custom documentation, open the Help browser and navigate to the home page. At the bottom right of the home page, under Supplemental Software, click the name of your toolbox. Your help opens in the current window.
