For <small>MATLAB</small> compatibility ‘<samp>%%%</samp>’ is treated the same way as ‘<samp>%%</samp>’. </p> <p>The lines following ‘<samp>##</samp>’ or ‘<samp>%%</samp>’ start with one of either ‘<samp>#</samp>’ or ‘<samp>%</samp>’ followed by at least one space. These lines are interpreted as section. A section ends at the first line not starting with ‘<samp>#</samp>’ or ‘<samp>%</samp>’, or when the end of the document is reached. </p> <p>A section starting in the first line of the document, followed by another start of a section that might be empty, is interpreted as a document title and introduction text. </p> <p>See the example below for clarity: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">%% Headline title % % Some *bold*, _italic_, or |monospaced| Text with % a <https://www.octave.org link to GNU Octave>. %% # "Real" Octave commands to be evaluated sombrero () ## Octave comment style supported as well # # * Bulleted list item 1 # * Bulleted list item 2 # # # Numbered list item 1 # # Numbered list item 2 </pre></div> </body> </html>
