There is no mechanism for that, just as there is no mechanism for color or underlining or blinking.
fprintf() is for transferring characters, and characters do not have inherent attributes or font properties.
Having said that: some output destinations interpret the characters they receive, and do so in such a way that character or font information can be attached.
See http://blogs.mathworks.com/desktop/2009/05/25/colorizing-text-output/ and http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24093
The above are for output to the command window. If you happen to be outputting to a terminal emulator (e.g., if you are running matlab -nodesktop) then you may be able to take advantage of the ANSI sequences for text attributes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#graphics

You can print bold only (not italics) using fprinf as shown below.
fprintf('Hello <strong> bold </strong> world.\n')
>> Hello bold world.

Works nicely in the MATLAB console window (R2023b)
Unfortunatly when using publish() to create a pdf or html document the same example apears as 'Hello <strong> bold </strong> world.' in the document.

I'm having the same issue when using publish() to create the PDF. Has anyone found the solution?
