Can I use the help function to display extensive function documentation in the R2025a MATLAB command window?

In early versions of MATLAB, the help function can display extensive function documentation. But now it only displays short function descriptions. Is there a way I can use the help function to display extensive function documentation in the MATLAB R2025a command window like in earlier versions?

The update to the "help" function was introduced in R2024b, where the function now displays abbreviated help text in the Command Window. For extensive documentation, the current recommendation is to use the doc function instead.
