Re: st: showing row labels in -table-

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinest.org>]

Thank you Martin, I apologize. Here's my question, more clearly stated:

Is it possible to show the row headers for cell contents in summary 
tables created with the -table- command? For example, in the 
following table, stratified horizontally by:
	domestic
	foreign,
I have specified that the cell contents should report:
	mean mpg
	mean headroom.

What I would like to do is display the row headers "Avg mpg" and "Avg 
headroom", underneath each of the row super headers Domestic and 
Foreign.

clear
sysuse auto
tab price
gen pricelevel=1
replace pricelevel=2 if price>6000
table foreign pricelevel, contents(mean mpg mean headroom) col 
format(%9.2g) cen

Therefore, I would like to specify that in this table the left-hand 
row headers would read:
Domestic
	Avg mpg
	Avg headroom
Foreign
	Avg mpg
	Avg headroom

Hope this is more clear!
