Default Hyperlink display for getReport

MATLAB doc indicates that there is an ability to set the parameter, hlink, of the function getReport to the value of 'default' which will tell the function to honor the command window default for displaying hyperlinks. How do I set the default for the command window?

Thanks,

Hi,

As far as I understand your question, you want to configure the default value of 'hlink' without changing the flag in 'getReport'.

I found a command:

feature('HotLinks', true)

After setting it to true; now, the 'default' choice simply means “whatever the Command Window is configured to do right now”.

Here is the link: https://undocumentedmatlab.com/articles/the-hotlinks-feature

I tried it with an example:

1. I first used the above command in the MATLAB command window
2. Then just ran the script below:

me = MException('demo:oops','Something went wrong');
try
    throw(me)
catch ME
    txt = getReport(ME,'extended','hyperlinks','default');
    disp(txt)
end

The output looked like this:

Whereas when I set 'Hotlinks' to false, I get this output after running the script:

Hope this is what you were looking for!

You seem to have accomplished the desired output, Ted, but unfortunately undocumented features are not inbounds for me. I have to think there is a way given the implications of the action mentioned in the table above. (if, as implied, there are defaults associate with the command window there there must be a way to change those.).
