Static methods in folder based classes

[MartinK84]

When you have a folder based class all non static functions are automatically loaded and parsed from the folder. For static classes you, however, still have to define the functions header in the classes main file, the code itself can still be in a separate file. For this definition the static function the function keyword is not present and I think this is what causes the parsing to fail with an error.

Example matlab code:

classdef Test < handle
    %TEST Summary of this class goes here
    %   Detailed explanation goes here

    properties
        Property1
    end

    methods
        function obj = Test(inputArg1,inputArg2)          
        end
    end

    methods(Static)
        out = StaticFunction();
    end
end

the error you get when building the documentation with auotmodule, autofunction or even autoclass:

Thanks for the report. The trailing semi-colon was the culprit.
