Can I save mlx-data from the live editor to latex output?

I am a big LaTeX-fan and love to work with the latex-output produced with publish. Can the same be done with mlx-files generated with the live editor? The automatically generated PDF-output looks bulky and unprofessional, such that I will not share PDFs with coworkers. Is there a work-around? Maybe I can convert mlx-files back to m-files with Matlab MARKUP such that I can get a latex-output from there?

Hi Helen,

You cannot export to LaTeX directly, but as you guessed, you can save your live script back to a traditional code (.m) file by clicking "Save As" and selecting the ".m" file filter from the save dialog. You can then generate LaTeX output from the Publish tab.

Hope that helps.

Can you be more specific about what you dislike about the PDF format?

Thanks!

UPDATE: As of release R2017b, you can export live scripts to LaTeX directly by choosing "Export to LaTeX" from the Save dropdown:

When exporting to LaTeX, MATLAB creates a separate Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) file in the same folder as the output document, if one does not exist already. XSL files give you more control over the appearance of the output document. For more details, see http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/.
