A text line can contain formatted text, hyperlinks, images, or

Table of

The table of contents contains a list of all the titles and headings in
the document. Only the title of the table of contents is editable.
You can insert a table of contents only in text lines. If you insert a
table of contents into a code line, MATLAB places it directly above
the current code section.
When exporting a live script containing a table of contents to
Microsoft Word, by default, the table of contents in the resulting
document does not include page numbers. To add page numbers,
click the table of contents and select Update Table.
