LaTeX interpreted to MatLab

I'm a novice when it comes to using MatLab, but I do really enjoy using LaTeX for things. I notice there is currently a little crossover into LaTeX within MatLab's graphing capabilities. However, I'm wondering about a more detailed interface. Currently, there's an open source program called Sage that allows users to input LaTeX code in a latex document and Sage computes it and outputs it directly into the LateX document...so if I were to figure out how to do that, I could do some pretty cool/hard math, just by typing the expressions into my LaTeX editor.

Is there any such capability within the MatLab environment, or is there a way to make the 2 programs talk to each other like with Sage? I ask because I'll learn Sage if I have to, but I'd prefer MatLab.

If you want to include computations into LaTeX, try the publish feature. However, some of the LaTeX commands are not recognised by MATLAB. You can select to publish your computations to latex that can be modified with a TeX editor if desired.

Also, the Symbolic Math Toolbox can do symbolic and numeric calculations and output its results in latex.
