Is there a way to turn off or suppress bold headers on tables in the Command Window?

When I use diary to save Command Window output to a text file, the table headers all have "</strong>" formatting, which makes it difficult to read in a text editor. Is there a way to have either the Command Window or diary output suppress the bold headers on tables?

disp(formattedDisplayText(my_table,"SuppressMarkup",true))

Anna Weeks's decision helped me. works greatly

It might not be possible according to the document.

One not-so-perfect workaround is to save the diary to a text file and then show it in Command Window using the "type" command

type diary.txt

Currently, I wrote a script which does a strfind for '<strong>' and '</strong>' and sets every instance = []. However, I'm dealing with 4MB text files at 1400+ pages each, so this script takes about 7 minutes per file on a quad-core 64-bit system with an Intel i7-6820HK @ 2.7 GHz and 32 GB of RAM, running 8 logical processors sharing the load. With hundreds of these files to deal with, I was hoping perhaps there was a better way, such as capturing the Command Window output without the bold table headers in the first place... Thanks!

Is it possible for you to consider other tools, such as UNIX grep/sed?

You could also use perl, which can be invoked directly from MATLAB using the perl() command.
