In the event, context is desired, this script will create a list by using the help command. Only the core matlab functions are listed.

function list = listallfunctions ()

  top = help;

  topics = regexp (top,'matlab/*\w+','match');

  for n = 1:numel(topics)
      topics{n} = help (topics{n});
      m = findstr (topics{n}, '  See also');
      topics{n} = topics{n}(1:m);
  end

  list = strcat (topics{:});

end
