The following code using Ben Jann's wonderful -estout- (SJ) produces a
summary statistics table in latex format. The -substitute- option lets
me substitute "\%" for the "%" which appears in a variable label. I
have not been able to figure out what combination of compound quotes,
etc. is necessary to turn a "$" into a "\$". I suspect that Stata reads
the dollar sign in the -substitute- option as indicating an empty macro,
but neither that suspicion nor a search of the help files or web has
turned up a solution.
Thanks,
Devra
