mimicking a subsection when publishing

Question

I might be wrong, but as far as I understand Matlab does not have a "subsection" option when publishing.

However, if I go for instance here (-mkdir- documentation), under the Examples section there are three "subsections". How would you obtain this? If it's through HTML only and not through direct Matlab options, is it possible to assign a shortcut or button to create the HTML fragment?

When publishing to html, you can use html-code:

%%
% <html>
% <h3>subsection</h3>
% </html>
%

Thanks @Daniel. About the second part of the question, do you know whether I can automatically type, say, the above fragment by using a shortcut? – Stefano Lombardi Sep 27 '15 at 12:15
@Stezzo MATLAB has an option to [Insert HTML Markup](http://blogs.mathworks.com/community/2008/01/21/marking-up-m-with-html/) to which you can assign a keyboard shortcut in preferences. However, a better approach would be to use use a text expansion tool but recommendations for a tool are off-topic for StackOverflow so you are on your own. – IKavanagh Sep 27 '15 at 12:40

This does what I was looking for: it creates a subsection title the same color of the main title.

%%
% <html><h3 style="color:C45400"> 
%       This will produce a Matlab-orange subsection 
% </h3></html>
%
%%

The `` tag is very poor HTML syntax. You should instead use CSS to style (colour) the heading. – IKavanagh Sep 27 '15 at 18:48
@IKavanagh, I changed the code using CSS, I am note an html expert, but now it should be better. – Stefano Lombardi Sep 27 '15 at 20:02
The `style` attribute should be on the `
` tag. The extra `
` tag is erroneous.

@IKavanagh Thanks a lot, I edited the answer. Sorry, when you said "text expansion tool" above, you meant an external editor? – Stefano Lombardi Sep 28 '15 at 07:08

Much better. No I meant a text expansion tool. Some external editors do have the functionality built into them but there are external tools that can work in every program. – IKavanagh Sep 28 '15 at 07:09
@IKavanagh As a related question, is there a way to add the
level sub-sections into the table of contents?
