Encoding bold font, font color, filter etc from Matlab to csv

[thomaslyngfelt]

I am creating a csv file from a Matlab script.

Is there a way to inject other than standard font attributes from the script? Like bold fonts, different colors of the fonts, sorting filters etc?

Theese attributes is editable when opening the csv in Excel so it should be possible to encode.

Unfortunately I cant use a xlsx file and commands like xlswrite, since the script is running on a non Windows platform.

If you are saving the file as a csv then any formatting will be lost when you close the file.

You are right, I didnt realize this. But as long as the file is not saved the formatting will stick right? Why does csv works like this? Can this "feature" be disabled?

Back to my original question, can formatted strings (i.e old or font size/color) be injected from Matlab?

A csv is a form of text file & as such cannot hold formatting.

As I know nothing about MatLab, I cannot answer you 2nd question.
