genToolboxHelp

This script generates a Matlab F1 help for a custom toolbox. It will run through all subfolders of the selected ToolBoxPath directory and create a Contents.m file in each subfolder containing .m files. It will then publish all .m files to .html files and place them in a hierarchical folder structure in a 'ToolBoxPath\Help\ToolBoxName' folder. If the respective .m file has already been published and was not changed since then, the html file will not be updated. The programm will proceed and create a hierarchical 'ToolBoxPath\Help\helptoc.xml' file listing the new help structure as well as 'ToolBoxPath\info.xml' file required by the Matlab help (see also http://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/display-custom-documentation.html). The help files can be accessed through Matlabs internal help via F1 - Supplementary Software - ToolBoxName. A GettingStarted.m file is created in the 'ToolBoxPath' folder which can be filled with nicely formatted content according to http://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/marking-up-matlab-comments-for-publishing.html that serves as a homepage for the F1 help.
