Can the `help` function parse functions defined in Live Scripts

When functions are defined in LiveScripts can their header comments be parsed by the help (or similiar) function to generate the help text?

When I explicitly point help to the function path recovered by which I get a message for the Live Script the function is defined in. I've recreated the behaviour here with the "online" Live Script embedded in questions but the output is the same in a local Live Script.

Thanks,

Rohan

which myQuestion

/tmp/Editor_zotvg/LiveEditorEvaluationHelperEeditorId.m (myQuestion)  % Local function of LiveEditorEvaluationHelperEeditorId

help myQuestion

myQuestion not found.

Use the Help browser search field to search the documentation, or
type "help help" for help command options, such as help for methods.

help(which("myQuestion"))

LiveEditorEvaluationHelperEeditorId is a script.

function myQuestion()
%test this is the short help
%   This is a longer explanation

disp("Hello World")
end

Hi Rohan,

I understand that comments inside a function is not able to be parsed by ‘help’ command on R2022a.

I ran it locally on R2022a and faced the same issue. This issue is fixed in R2023a which is the latest version of MATLAB.

Howdy,

I still get the same output in 2023a that I got in 2022a. Do you have a working example?

Thanks,

Rohan
