+## Numerically evaluate the triple integral of @var{f}.
+## @var{f} is a function handle, inline function, or string
+## containing the name of the function to evaluate. The function @var{f} must
+## have the form @math{w = f(x,y,z)} where either @var{x} or @var{y} is a
+## vector and the remaining inputs are scalars. It should return a vector of
+## the same length and orientation as @var{x} or @var{y}.
+##
+## @var{xa}, @var{ya}, @var{za} and @var{xb}, @var{yb}, @var{zb} are the lower
+## and upper limits of integration for x, y, and z respectively. The
+## underlying integrator determines whether infinite bounds are accepted.
+##
+## The optional argument @var{tol} defines the absolute tolerance used to
+## integrate each sub-integral. The default value is @math{1e^{-6}}.
+##
+## The optional argument @var{quadf} specifies which underlying integrator
+## function to use. Any choice but @code{quad} is available and the default
+## is @code{quadcc}.
+##
+## Additional arguments, are passed directly to @var{f}. To use the default
+## value for @var{tol} or @var{quadf} one may pass ':' or an empty matrix ([]).
