Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating how docmaker handles HTML anchor tags, then reproduce the Control 101 Toolbox use case with a matlab: hyperlink. Done means generated documentation preserves and supports these links for the described Live Script workflow.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Use case is the Control 101 Toolbox (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/130439-control-101-toolbox). This uses matlab: in doc hyperlinks to copy Live Scripts from the installation folder of the toolbox to the user's working directory for editing. The authors have expressed interest in migrating the documentation away from handwritten HTML.
