What LaTeX characters can I use in MATLAB?

I am using MATLAB 6.5 (R13) and would like to know if there is anything planned to support more LaTeX commands.

Specifically, and as an example, I would like to use "frac" and "overline".

A list of TeX characters that MATLAB currently supports can be found under the "Interpreter" section in the following documentation:

As a workaround, you can download a TeX implementer and use it in conjunction with the "teximage.m" file. The "teximage.m" file, written by another user of MATLAB, is available on MATLAB Central file exchange. This file can be used to display a LaTeX string as an image. You can download this file from the following URL:

A current list of supported Tex can be found in the Interpreter section of the documentation for text
