y by default duplicates the second-top element of the stack. So it needs at least two elements on the stack. In your case there is only one, so implicit input is triggered and fails
Now that I see your explanation I think I must have asked before.
Could you maybe add something to indicate this in the function table of the MATL specs?
like "duplicate 2nd element" or so because now it just says "duplicate element"
anoter feature-request: clickable hyperlinks from the function-table to the corresponding line in Appendix A. (I think it should be doable using the hyperrefpackage.)
@flawr The problem is, y allows $ or & meta functions, that modify which element is copied exactly. For instance``&y` copies duplicates third topmost element. Not sure how to give a very brief descriptio of that in the table
@flawr Good idea, but I'm afraid that's problematic as well. The table is in Excel, then printed to pdf, then inserted as an image
@flawr Just a convenient way to edit the table with backgrounds colours. It can probably be done in LaTeX, but I couldn't be bothered :-) There's not additional data
@flawr The contents of Table 6 are defined in file funFedTable.tex, which is generated automatically (by the Matlab function genFunDefTableLatex.m) from funDef.txt, which is the file that defines MATL functions (the last column for each function is its description to be included in the LaTeX file)
So, linking to that may be difficult
How do you link to a table row?
That seems to be straightforward (but I haven't tested it)
What I need now is to automatically generate the \labels in the rows of Table 6 and the hyperrefs (without additional coloring) in the rows of table 4
