create a table in the live script

Hi,

I am documenting a function in the live editor and would like to create a table in the text section, similar to the tables in the matlab documentation. For example the DocPolynom Class Properties table in the https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/a-polynomial-class-1.html

Currently, the only way to add editable tables to a live script is to use LaTeX. Although this answer is for MATLAB Grader, the same principles apply to creating a table in live scripts using LaTeX

LaTeX tables cannot be formatted like the html tables you reference (color, lines). If that is what you desire, I recommend creating the tables elsewhere, capturing them as images, and inserting the image into your live script.

Starting in R2023b, you can add editable tables to live scripts using the toolstrip.

To insert a table, on the toolstrip, go to the Insert tab and select Table. Move the cursor over the grid to highlight the numbers of rows and columns you want and then click to add the table. To create a larger table, select the Insert a table button and specify the numbers of rows and columns in the dialog box.
