Release 11 New Features      

Online Documentation Enhancements

Full-Text Search Facility

The 5.2 Help Desk added a full-text search facility for the HTML online documentation. You can access the full-text search facility from the top page of the Help Desk or from the "Search" link on reference pages.

Reference Page Navigation

The 5.2 HTML reference pages introduced additional navigational aids. The "Examples" and "See Also" links at the top of the first reference page for a function allow you to jump directly to the examples or to links to associated functions.

Also at the top of the reference pages is a "Go to function" edit box. Enter the name of the function and press the Enter key to see the reference page for that function.

The doc Command

The doc command now accesses the HTML reference documentation for all MathWorks products for which HTML reference documentation has been installed. Before Version 5.2, the doc command only accessed the documentation for MATLAB functions.

Japanese Help Desk

MATLAB 5.2 provided a Japanese version of the Help Desk, in addition to the English version.

Note Most of the Japanese documentation is at a pre-Release 11 level.

During the installation process you can specify what, if any, Japanese documentation you want to install.

If you install any Japanese documentation, the Japanese Help Desk will be displayed when you use the helpdesk command.
