MATLAB Central Newsreader - Publish without code output

Publish without code output

Fran?ois Bouffard — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:12:01 -0400

The preferences options for publishing (in the version of
Matlab I'm using, which admitedly is not the latest) enable
us to decide if we want to a) evaluate code, b) use new
figures, and c) display the code in the output. I want to
produce a report in which the code is evaluated (to generate
figures), so a) has to be checked. Since the code is quite
lengthy, I don't want it displayed in the HTML file, so c)
has to be unchecked.

However even if the code itself is not displayed in the HTML
file, the code output is listed. This is a problem since I'm
using third-party functions that spew out dozens of
uninteresting messages. Thus I'd like the code output not
shown in the report. Is there an easy way to do this?

Since there is no "Display code output" checkbox in the
preferences or an equivalent option to the publish function,
I guess I should either use an appropriate XSL stylesheet,
or parse the HTML and remove the "codeoutput"-class pre
tags. Has anyone produced such an XSL stylesheet?

Thanks for any hint,

Fran?ois

In newer versions of MATLAB, there's an option for this
called maxOutputLines.

On older versions, you're solution of modifying the
stylesheet is a good one.

>> edit private/mxdom2simplehtml.xsl

Find where "mcodeoutput" is in your version and delete it.
Then re-save this file to a new location. When you publish,
specify you want to use this custom stylesheet.

Thanks for your help, this worked very well.
