webbrowser: basic web browser running from Matlab
Opens a simplistic web browser, built from Matlab/Java.
Can be used as replacement for the 'web' command in deployed applications.
Requires a running JVM.
This browser has very limited rendering capabilities. It does not support
JavaScript, and other 'modern' HTML extensions (flash, HTML5,...).
The browser has a display pane, a Home button, a Back button, an editable URL
field, and keeps track of the navigation history. Does not support proxy settings.
Also works within compiled Matlab applications.

webbrowser Opens an empty browser.
webbrowser(file) Display the specified file (full path or in the Matlab search path)
webbrowser(url) Opens a browser displaying the specified URL.
webbrowser(url,'system') tries first to open the web page with the system browser.
