@Suever I'm planning on adding a few small changes and incorporating that into current release 18.3.0. That is, deleting the release and recreating it with the changes. I know that's not a good thing to do in general, but current release 18.3.0 hasn't been used (online) yet, so it would seem like wasting a number
What do you think? Would that cause any problem on the online compiler you are preparing? I mean if I do that now; of course I won't do that as a general rule

@LuisMendo Yea not a problem at all.
All I have to do is delete the old 18.3 directory and the next time I run something it gets re-downloaded.

Octave - Matlab differences again
Matlab: 
>> interp1([3 4 6 8 10], [3 8 5 9 6], 'linear', NaN)
ans =
     6   NaN    10   NaN   NaN
Octave: 
>> interp1([3 4 6 8 10], [3 8 5 9 6], 'linear', NaN)
ans = NA
I didn't even know NA was a thing
I'll leave it as it is. The interp1 function is too complicated, with lots of different inut signatures

@Suever Regarding automatic links to Matlab functions: since the URL's don't have a uniform structure, perhaps one way would be to Google for example Matlab unique and get the first result, which seems to always be the good one. But of course there's no guarantee.
The other option would be to manually maintain a list of URL's, but I don't think it's worth it.
Besides, it's not clear when to insert a hyperlink. For example, here 
>> matl -h unique
u   unique
    1--4 (1);  1--4 (1)
    unique, with 'stable' option by default. It includes a fourth
both unique and 'stable' have the LaTeX command \matlab, but only the first should have the link.
Too difficult, isn't it? :-)
Release 18.3.0 re-created:
2
* `U` for numeric input now squares it (raises it to power 2). Thanks, @DrGreenEggs!
* `h`, `v` and `Xc` convert logical to numeric if some input is char, so they can be concatenated. Thanks, @Suever!
* Improved compatibility of `Zc` with Matlab R2014a. In char mode the first input is linearized to a row cell array, so that `strjoin` works
* `Yn` with 2 or 3 numeric inputs applies flags `'linear'` and `'extrap'` by default
Plus the previous
* Added `YF`: exponents of prime factorization.
* Changed implementation of `spiral` for Octave
* Function `o` as "parity" was missing in the documentation table. Thanks, @DrGreenEggs

Yea it may not be worth the effort. I'll think on it though, there may be an undocumented internal way to get external URLs for a given function
granted that wouldn't work for Octave
