Does MATLAB plotting accept matplotlib syntax now?

One of my students turned in some code and it threw a bunch of errors on my 2019b installation. When I was going through it they were basically using pyplot syntax to change the font size.

Instead of the name-value pairs,

title('Words!','FontSize',20)

They used key=value syntax like matplotlib

title('Words!',fontsize=20)

The code runs on their 2021a but not my 2019b.

Yes, as written in R2021a release note, name=value syntax is supported from R2021a.

Thanks! I guess I could have read that but I just checked the documentation for title() and did not see anything.
