I am mkaing a report in MATLAB and want to make headrs and footers

I am generating a word document in MATLAB without a template, and I want to make the headers and footers. I can only find information online about using holes in a dotx but I don't have dotx and therefore no holes, is there an actual command that inserts headers and footers?

Thanks Taylor but when I try to use this it wants a template path to be able to fill them in,and I can't get it to work without a template

[Taylor]

Try this

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

d = Document("MyReport","docx");
open(d);

% Create a header for the current section
header = DOCXPageHeader();
para = Paragraph("Header content here");
para.Bold = true;
append(header, para);

% Attach the header to the current page layout
d.CurrentPageLayout.PageHeaders = header;

% Add report content as usual
append(d, Paragraph("Main body content here"));

close(d);
rptview(d.OutputPath);
