title: How to print a string in Matlab?
body: <p>I do this to output the contents of a string (and nothing more):</p>
  
  <pre><code>fprintf( '%s', my_str );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it feels like I've missed a function that takes only <code>my_str</code> as an argument. Which function should I use?</p>
