Thread Subject: Proposed extensions to the doc command

Subject: Proposed extensions to the doc command

The doc command is an extremely useful feature in MATLAB.
However, like all software, this too could use some
improvements. Here are some proposed extensions to the
"doc" command.

>> doc doc
A paradox

>> doc who
Into the Tardis, Romana, the Daleks are coming!

>> doc what
What's up doc?

>> doc holiday
The MATLAB documentation is not available at this time.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please call back
during normal business hours. If you wish to leave a
message, please call 1-800-OK-CORRAL, and leave a message
after the sound of gunfire.

>> doc trek
He's dead, Jim.

>> doc svd
Gene Golub

>> doc student
Your MATLAB homework assignment is late!

>> doc suess
I can happily tell you that matrices sparse,
can be found in the mane of a tall purple horse.
For matrices morally triangular too,
you need only to look to the outputs of Lu.

>> doc bar
Click on the dock arrow button to order a gin and tonic.

>> doc undock
Your PhD thesis was plagiarized, and your doc is thus rescinded.

Signed,
>> doc sparse
()'*eye(m)\()

Please doc all child windows, and click OK to continue.

>> doc spock
The preceding statement is completely illogical. I do not
understand your human tendency to over-attach to your offspring.

That's a Dom Perignon '55, it would be a pity to break it.

Zot zot zot! I like it!

Now maybe with Doc Brown, Matthew can go back in time and
make these needful changes to "doc" in MATLAB 3.0 ;-)
