<web> - Open Web browser on site or files.
WEB Open Web browser on site or files.
WEB opens up an empty internal web browser. The default internal web
browser includes a toolbar with standard web browser icons, and an address
box showing the current address.
WEB URL displays the specified URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in an
Internal web browser window. If one or more internal web browsers are
already running, the last active browser (determined by the last
browser which had focus) will be reused. If the URL is located underneath
docroot, then it will automatically be displayed inside the Help
browser. If the file is on the MATLAB path, a fully qualified name is
not necessary. Also, the file can be referenced relative to the
current working directory.
WEB URL -NEW displays the specified URL in a new internal web browser
window.
WEB URL -NOTOOLBAR displays the specified URL in an internal web
browser without a toolbar (and address box).
WEB URL -NOADDRESSBOX displays the specified URL in an internal web
browser without an address box (but does include a toolbar with standard
web browser icons).
WEB URL -HELPBROWSER displays the specified URL in the Help browser.
STAT = WEB(...) -BROWSER returns the status of the WEB command in the
variable STAT. STAT = 0 indicates successful execution. STAT = 1
indicates
that the browser was not found. STAT = 2 indicates that the browser was
found, but could not be launched.
[STAT, BROWSER] = WEB returns the status, and a handle to the last active
browser.
[STAT, BROWSER, URL] = WEB returns the status, a handle to the last active
browser, and the URL of the current location.
WEB URL -BROWSER opens a System Web browser and loads the file or Web site specified in the URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The URL can be of any form that your browser can support. Generally, it can specify a local file or a
Web site on the Internet. On Windows and Macintosh, the Web browser is determined by the operating system. On UNIX (excluding the Mac), it is determined as specified in the "Web" preferences panel.
Examples:
web file:///disk/dir1/dir2/foo.html
opens the file foo.html in an internal browser.
web('foo.html');
opens the file foo.html if it is on the MATLAB path.
web('html/foo.html');
opens the file html/foo.html, which is relative to the current
working directory.
web('text://<html>Hello World</html>');
displays the html formatted text inside an internal browser.
web('http://www.mathworks.com', '-new');

a toolbar or address box.
