I am writing a report in Overleaf. I want to cite one mathwork help center artical. So I used following script in my bibliograpy file. I have referred previosly asked questions. All of them describe how to cite MATLAB software. But I want to cite a help center artical.
@misc{ enmath:1,
author = "{The MathWorks Inc.}",
title = "Design Trajectory with Velocity Limits Using Trapezoidal Velocity Profile --- {MathWork}{,} Help Center",
year = "2022",
howpublished = "\url{https://www.mathworks.com/help/robotics/ug/design-a-trajectory-with-velocity-limits-using-a-trapezoidal-velocity-profile.html}"
}
I want to verify whether what I have done is correct and legal. Please give me instructions.

The bibliography reference needs the link to the specific example page with specific release number that you're using if relevant. But I recommend adding the release date as our tools might get enhancements or bug fixes over time so it may be better to just be clear about which release you're using.
Web Form Citation:
Or if you just need to cite the documentation for a toolbox in general, you could cite the index page for the toolbox.
[1] MathWorks documentation for Robotics System Toolbox: https://www.mathworks.com/help/robotics/index.html
Book Form Citation:
There's also the PDF user guide that you can cite if you would prefer.
