How to change the vertical alignment line in matlab code editor?

Question

I want to change the vertical alignment line in matlab code editor in order to have a better illustration when I publish my .m file as html one! how can I do that? I searched but came up with this solution that I use multiple line code writing using "..." notation in my code! I should write this way:

str = "This sentence is " ...
           "very large one";

So I don't want to do that. How can I change its default value. see the picture below!

thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

In the main window under preferences\Editor\Display you'll find "Right-hand text limit", where you can specify the number of columns between every vertical alignment line.

It's limited to 160 columns, unfortunately.

(ver. Matlab 2013a)

under preferences\Editor\Language you can also find a checkbox "Wrap comments automatically" and some other options just concerning comments. Sometimes the wrapping there also gets annoying.

Edit: the 160 columns would exactly fill my screen. So maybe you can choose a bigger value, if you have a bigger resolution/screen.
