This is an unofficial port of the MATLAB and Emacs integration mode from the project CVS repo (http://sourceforge.net/projects/matlab-emacs/) to GitHub (as of March 2015). The following changes were added on top of the original project:

1. New company-matlab.el backend that works both inside the Matlab shell and in Matlab files
2. New flycheck-mlint back-end for flycheck which uses mlint to highlight warnings in Matlab files.
3. Fixed additional newlines and incorrect formatting of prompt after completion
4. Fixed version parsing for new Matlab versions
5. Re-enabled HTML parsing

Installation

Add the following to your .emacs file:

;; Replace path below to be where your matlab.el file is.
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/matlab-emacs")
(load-library "matlab-load")

;; Enable CEDET feature support for MATLAB code. (Optional)
;; (matlab-cedet-setup)

To use the company completion engine, add company-matlab to company-mode backends list:

(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-anaconda)

NOTE! In order for the completions to work Matlab shell must be started!

To use the flycheck mlint backedn, add the following to your init file:

(eval-after-load 'flycheck
  '(require 'flycheck-matlab-mlint))

NOTE! Matlab binary folder, e.g. /opt/MATLAB/R2013a/bin must be in your path for this to work.

Finding Updates

Releases

The most recent version of matlab.el is always in CVS.

You can get an old downloader for matlab-emacs from MATLAB File Exchange.

Category: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadCategory.do?objectId=19&objectType=Category This File http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=104&objectType=file

Older versions of matlab.el can be found as matlab.el.1.10.1 for emacsen that do not have the latest additional utilities such as tempo and derived.

matlab.el and mlint.el has shipped on MATLAB CDs starting with 6.5 (R13). Updates after a release of MATLAB will be made to MATLAB Central and announced on the mailing list.

matlab.el and mlint.el will no longer ship on MATLAB CDs starting with MATLAB release R2008b. If you are using a version of MATLAB from before R2008a, you will want to use the version of mlint from that CD.

CVS

matlab-emacs is available via CVS from SourceForge.

Homepage: http://matlab-emacs.sf.net

Project Page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/matlab-emacs

CVS Repository: http://matlab-emacs.cvs.sourceforge.net/matlab-emacs

If you do not have a CVS client on your machine, you can use the MATLAB script dl_emacs_support.m to download a fresh copy of the matlab.el sources.

Dependancies

MATLAB-Emacs can use the CEDET suite for the following items: - Modifying the build system (Makefiles, etc) - mlint (uses EIEIO object system) - parsing/completion (uses semantic parsing system) - some template insertion features

As of Emacs 23.2, CEDET is included in Emacs, and nothing extra is needed to satisfy that dependency.

For older versions of Emacs:

See http://cedet.sf.net for downloading CEDET.

If you only want to use matlab.el for editing code or running the MATLAB shell, you DO NOT need to install CEDET.

If you do want to use CEDET, add the following to your .emacs file:

(matlab-cedet-setup)
