Does Matlab have the function to format script?

Just wondering if Matlab has the function to format script, e.g., automatically add a space after a comma, or add spaces before and after an "=" when I press semicolon at the end of a statement, or select a block of script to be formatted and press some button. Thanks.

No, MATLAB does not have that. Fortunately, David Varga recently mentioned releasing a beautifier; see https://github.com/davidvarga/MBeautifier

Select your code, then right click with your mouse, you will see all possibilities you have. For example (ctrl+i) which is smart indent

I didn't find any item in the context menu except smart indent that is related to code formatting as I mentioned in the question. Note that in my question the "format" does not refer to change of fonts, but more to proper addition of spaces and alignments.

Type

control-a, to select all text in your editor window, then

control-i, to fix (properly align) the indenting of your lines of code.

I made this tool a while back https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/101604-automated-code-organizer?s_tid=srchtitle

Its smiliar to ctrl+i but as a few more functions

Here's a MATLAB snippet that depends on the undocumented tree2str and mtree, but produces a reasonable result:

tree2str(mtree(FILENAME, '-file', '-comments'))
