MATLAB Report Generator

Working from the Command Line

You can use rptconvert from the command line with varying levels of definition:

• <ReportName>=rptconvert('<DocBookFileName>'); where <ReportName> is the name of your report, DocBookFileName is the name of the DocBook file (with or without the .sgml extension). The default format (HTML) and stylesheet (Single-Page Web) are used.
• <ReportName>=rptconvert('<DocBookFileName>',format); where the valid format arguments are:
• HTML
• RTF95
• RTF97
• FOT (for XML)

• The format name should be entered in single quotes, for example, 'HTML'. The default stylesheet for the selected option is used.

• <ReportName>=rptconvert('<DocBookFileName>',format,stylesheet); for a discussion of valid stylesheet options for each output format, see Report Format and Stylesheets. Type rptconvert #STYLESHEETLIST for a list of valid stylesheet arguments. Note that the stylesheet name should be entered in single quotes.

When using rptconvert from the command line, you can create a variable that is a cell array of strings that contain conversion status messages. For example, to create a cell array of conversion status messages called messages, type the following.

• [<ReportName>,messages]=rptconvert('<ReportName>.sgml','html')
  

Note that this will convert the report to HTML format.
