Thread Subject: problem with the cell mode

Hi all,

Anyone has experienced the same thing that I have? I have a few matlab files opened in the Editor with Cell Mode on. However, some of my .m files shows correctly with cell partitions (each section can be executed separated and are separated by "%%"). However, other .m files does not show correctly with cell mode (the entire file shows only one color even with cell separation, and can only be executed as a whole). Switching on and off the cell mode does not help. I had to create a new file and copy paste the code and save to the original file name (replace). This time cell mode shows correctly.

This must be a bug of some sort? It's 2008b.

Not sure if this has since been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

I'm having the exact same problem using 2009a.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To allow cell breaks to work within functions, loops, and other control structures, we introduced the concept of nested cells. That is, one cell can be a subset of another. Here is the full description:

People who previously used cells as a visual demarcation, even though it wouldn't work for publishing at that time, will now see a different behavior.

Well, I apologize for adding to the noise, but I fixed my particular problem. I had a syntax error in my m file and this caused all of the cell demarcations to disappear.

Hopefully your problem is as easily fixed as mine, Pinpress.

Yes, that was exactly the same fix here as well. It took me some time to figure out -- Maybe Matlab could be a little more smarter ...
