Is it possible to dynamically change the Table of Contents for the report generated by the PUBLISH command in MATLAB?

I am using the PUBLISH function, or the Publish button, to generate a report (HTML or otherwise) for my program.

In this report, I would like to dynamically specify the Table of Contents.

For instance, I would like a specify a cell header within a loop, and have each of these iterations appear in the Table of Contents, with the appropriate string generated in each iteration.

This functionality is not possible with the PUBLISH function since PUBLISH picks up on the cell headers to generate the Table of Contents, and it is not possible to make the output of some calculation become the cell header.

The reason is that the PUBLISH function is really designed to quickly allow you to describe and share your MATLAB code, as it is. As a workaround, you may post-process the output instead by editing the HTML or DOC or PPT file that has been generated.
