Consider:

go = 1;
while
for j = 1 : 10
for i = 1 : 10
a = i;
b = j;
end
end
end

On my system [Kubuntu 5.10 (breezy); VIM - Vi IMproved 6.3,
Included patches: 1-78], using .../indent/matlab.vim, along with

  set expandtab
  set tabstop=2
  set shiftwidth=2

results in:

go = 1;
while
  for j = 1 : 10
    for i = 1 : 10
      a = i;
      b = j;
end
end
end

For some reason, the ends don't get properly indented.  The
octave.vim script
(http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1241) seems to
only provide syntax support for endif, endwhile, and so forth.
But, from my testing, it doesn't help with indenting.

PS:

> Why are you asking this question here?
One sticking point for Matlab users is abandoning Matlab's text
editor.  Currently, Octave doesn't exactly have a GUI equivalent.
Personally, I get by fine (I think better) running Octave in
terminals, using Vim as my primary text editor.  But this doesn't
appeal to everyone.

Starting the thread here, I think, is appropriate since it falls
in the category of helping Matlab users become GNU Octave users.
