Research direction

Start by opening the affected pages at plotly.com/matlab/ and plotly.com/matlab/maps/ and inspect the documentation source that generates their top sections. Identify where the broken HTML is introduced, then verify that the rendered Matlab documentation pages no longer show the stray output, including other Matlab sub-pages.
