Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Handling of function end statement in matlab-mode

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi Robert,

Everything in the menu can be accessed via M-x.  The menus is just a handy way to see some common features.

You can use M-x customize-group RET matlab RET to see all the various options available.  The per-buffer options are a little trickier.   For ends, you can force the menu call with matlab-toggle-functions-have-end.  The others you can just set the global value via customize above.  The tracking of having ends is actually a minor-mode, and not a variable because it is tied into some complex logic that deals with indenting function bodies, indenting nested functions, and some other stuff I don't remember.

Hopefully that will help you build the environment you want.

Eric

That may be my problem.  I use no menus at all.  What am I losing as a result?

Definitely does not do that.  What is the relevant variable?
