Details:

This report is based on all the information provided by Mike Miller, thanks!

When the first help sentence of a function contains a literal '%' character,
generate_html fails when parsing the docstring.

A simple test case would be


    ## -*- texinfo -*-
    ## @deftypefn {} {} myfunc
    ## This function is 10% ready.
    ## @end deftypefn
    function myfunc ()
    endfunction


This makes the package fails with matlab style docstrings.
