Hey this is an easy one as there are no equations or examples.. Try the
string
## -*- texinfo -*-
## @deftypefn {Function File} address@hidden =} ancestor (@var{h},
@var{type})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} address@hidden =} ancestor (@var{h},
@var{type}, 'toplevel')
## Returns the first ancestor of handle object @var{h} whose type matches
## @var{type}, where @var{type} is a character string. If @var{type} is a
## cell array of strings, the first parent whose type matches any of the
## given type strings is returned.
##
## If the handle object @var{h} is of type @var{type}, @var{h} is returned.
##
## If 'toplevel' is given as a 3rd argument, @code{ancestor} returns the
## highest parent in the object hierarchy that matches the condition,
instead
## of the first (nearest) one.
## @seealso{get, set}
## @end deftypefn
BTW, the appendix C "Tips and Standards" in the sub-section "Tips for
Documentation" has some hints on how to write texinfo help strings...
