Error in publishing script

I obtain this error when publishing my script:

1. Error using input - Cannot call INPUT from EVALC.
2. Error in OpticalFunction (line 1) - startw = input('Enter starting wavelength: ');

I've seen that i can indeed publish my script my not evaluating the code as such

   publish('myScript.m','evalCode',false)

however i do want the figures in my script to be published as well. Is there anyway around it such as running the script in certain sections.

Also relavent to the publish function, is it meant to publish the contents page:

Table of Contents

Setting Up Motor

Anaylsis of Indirect Band Gap (GaP)

Anaylsis of Indirect Band Gap (GaP)

Optical Function

as it doesn't. Any help is much appreicated

The ability to use "input" function as an argument in "evalc" for execution is not available in MATLAB. Publishing a MATLAB-file involves evaluating the MATLAB file from the MATLAB command prompt, which is carried by the "evalc" command. When you are using "evalc", the functions "diary", "more" and "input" are disabled.

A workaround is to use input dialog boxes to get some control over the script's execution.
