Hi,
As per my understanding, you are trying to add line numbers to the code blocks in the HTML report generated using ‘publish’ method. As you mentioned, the current ‘publish’ function does not support a feature to enumerate the code lines.
One straightforward way is to manually inject line numbers into the HTML report generated using the ‘publish’ function. You can try to write a script to automate this.
Another way is to try using part of the custom function suggested in the MATLAB answer: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/92096-how-can-i-print-line-numbers-when-i-use-the-publish-command-in-matlab along with the ‘export’ MATLAB function. Refer to the modified function below:
function mypublish(filename)
% A Custom publish function that includes the line
% number for each line in the function
% Usage: addLineNumbers('myfun.m')
copyfile(filename, 'mytemp.m', 'f')
fid1 = fopen(filename);
fid2 = fopen('mytemp.m', 'w');
i=1;
while 1
tline = fgetl(fid1);
if ~ischar(tline)
break;
end
if ~isempty(tline)
tline = [num2str(i),' ', tline];
fprintf(fid2,'%s',tline);
fprintf(fid2,'%s\n','');
i = i + 1;
end
end
fclose(fid1);
fclose(fid2);
% Get file name as string
[~,fileName,~] = fileparts(filename);
% Convert .m file to .mlx file
matlab.internal.liveeditor.openAndSave('mytemp.m', 'mytemp.mlx');
% Generate HTML file from .mlx file with same file name
export('mytemp.mlx', strcat(fileName, '.html'), Format="html");
% Remove temporary files
delete('mytemp.m');
delete('mytemp.mlx');
end
This function adds line numbers to the code, convert .m file to .mlx file and uses the ‘export’ function to generate HTML file. Note that ‘export’ function was introduced in R2022a. For more information, refer to the following documentation:
Hope this helps!
