How can I reformat code in MATLAB editor?

Question

How can I reformat code in MATLAB editor? Other IDEs usually have reformat or format option that arrange position of written codes. Does editor of MATLAB have it? I use MATLAB R2013a

Answer 1

I have created a minimalist, configurable MATLAB source code formatter, which can be used directly in the MATLABEditor.

You can find it on GitHub: MBeautifier on GitHub

Main features:

• Padding operators and keywords with white spaces
• Configurable indentation character and level. Indentation using the Smart Indent functionality of the MATLAB Editor
• Removal/addition of continuous empty lines
• Inserting missing element separators (commas) in matrix and cell array initializations
• Insert missing continuous symbol line in matrix and cell array initializations
• In-lining continuous lines
• Formats the current page of the MATLAB Editor or only a selection in the MATLAB Editor or file(s)
• While everything above is configurable in a single XML file

It can be used in Matlab versions starting from R2013b.

Deployment and configuration are described on GitHub (link above).
