Group portions of report into sections with titles
This component groups portions of the report into sections. Each section has a title and content.
The following rules apply to this component:
Child components appear inside the section created by this component.
Selecting the Get title from first child
component check box prevents this component from accepting
paragraph-level children. In this case, this component's first child
must be a Text component.
This component can have Chapter/Subsection components as its children.
Sections can be nested. There are seven levels of nesting possible. The seventh nested section in the report is untitled, although the child components of this section include information into the report.
Chapter and subsection numbering depends on the template you
select for template-based output, such as Word (from
template), or the style sheet you select for style-sheet-based
output, such as Adobe®
Acrobat®.
To number chapters only in template-based output, select Default
Word Template, Default HTML Template, Default
Single-File HTML Template, or Default PDF
Template, depending on the output type. To number both
chapters and subsections, select the Default Numbered template.
You can customize these templates to generate other numbering schemes.
For example, to generate unnumbered chapters, delete the rgChapterTitleNumber
hole in the rgChapterTitle library template in your report’s
main template.
To generate unnumbered chapters and sections in style-sheet-based
output, select Unnumbered Chapters and Sections as
your report’s style sheet. To number chapters and sections,
select Numbered Chapters and Sections as
your report’s style sheet. You can generate other numbering
schemes by customizing these style sheets.
You can create custom styles in your Word template to change the appearance of chapter or section titles.
In your Word template, define styles for the title
prefix (for example, the word Chapter or Section), the title number, and the title
text. Name them in the form MyRootPrefix, MyRootNumber,
and MyRootText, for example:
myChapterTitlePrefix
myChapterTitleNumber
myChapterTitleText
In the Chapter/Subsection dialog box in Report Explorer,
set Style Name to your value for MyRoot,
for example myChapterTitle.
When you generate your report, the MATLAB® Report Generator™ uses your styles instead of the default styles.
Title: Specifies a title to display in the generated report:
Automatic: Automatically generates
a title.
Custom: Specifies a custom title.
Style Name: Specifies the style to use with the chapter or section title. To specify a style:
Set the report’s File format to
one of the from template options, for example, Direct
PDF (from template).
In the Chapter/Subsection properties dialog box, set Title to Custom.
Set Style Name to Custom.
In the Style Name text box, type a style name.
To take effect, the style you specify must be defined in the template that you use to generate the report. For Word documents, do not use the built-in styles. If you want to use a built-in style, create your own style based on the built-in style, for example MyHeading1.
For more information about template styles, see Report Templates.
Numbering: Specifies a numbering style for the report:
Automatic: Numbers by context.
Custom: Allows you to create your
own numbering style.
Section Type: Shows you in which level a selected section resides.
Yes. Chapter or section.
