st: Re: labeling estout models with titles from eststo

["Martin Weiss" <martin.weiss1@gmx.de>]

The -estout- is one of the most brilliant packages on record, but titling is 
somewhat difficult. You can, as a crude solution, accumulate your titles in 
a -local- and pass it to the mtitles option.

********
sysuse auto, clear
eststo clear
levelsof rep78, loc(levrep)

loc i 0
loc titl ""

foreach lev of loc levrep{
loc ++i
reg price we mpg if rep78==`lev'
eststo
loc titl `"`titl' "Regr. `i'""'
}

esttab *, mtitles(`titl')
