As documented in lshort.pdf, an easy way of aligning table columns in MATLAB to a decimal point is to break down the numerical entries into two columns, and set the alignment to 'r@{.}l', which places a decimal point between a right and a left aligned column.
This function changes decimal points in either a scalar or a matrix to a '&' to allow for using this technique.
For best results, combine with matrix2latex.m available on this site.
Usage:
% latex_trick(number, format)
% where:
% number is a matrix or a scalar, and
% format is a format string as if for fprintf.
% returns:
% a string if number is a scalar, or
% a string cell array otherwise.
