Say you have an m-file
  function s = f1()
    s = f2();
  end
  function s = f2()
    s = struct( 'a',@f2a, 'b',@f2b
      function f2a()
  %help for user ...
      end
      function f2b()
      end
  end
then the user can run the nested function 'f2a' and so could expect
some help.

I tried 'help f1#f2#f2a' with all combinations of '>' and '/' but
could not find anything that works. Is it possible?

You should be able to but I also am having trouble. I have reported
this as a bug.
