[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34038] deblank does not work on indexed cells

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #34038 (project octave):

The Octave docstring is old and seems to have been written when there was not
much distinction between a cell and a cell array of strings.  

The deblank() documentation for ML
(http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/deblank.html) is much clearer.  It
specifies only two calling forms.  One for character arrays and one for
cellstrs.


c = deblank(c) when c is a cell array of strings, applies deblank to each
element of c.


I've added a changeset which clarifies that cell arrays of strings, not cells
alone, are the desired input.  I also added notes to the NEWS file since a
number of the functions in the strings directory have been reworked.
