st: New version of -xrewide- on SSC

[Roger Newson <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -xrewide- package is available 
for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or 
-adoupdate- if you already have the old version of -xrewide- 
(distributed earlier this week).

The -xrewide- package, described as below on my website, is an extended 
version of -reshape wide-, mostly used with -listtab- (the successor to 
-listtex-) to produce tables in TeX, HTML, RTF and XML formats for 
output to documents. The new version adds 7 new labor-saving options. 
These are -xmlsub- (specifying the substitution of XML escape sequences 
in the variable characteristics used to store j-variable value labels), 
-pjvalue()-, -sjvalue()-, -pjlabel()- and -sjlabel()- (specifying prefix 
strings and suffix strings to be added to the variable characteristics 
used to store j-variable values and value labels), and -lxij()- and 
-lxji()- (specifying the names of macro variables to contain lists of 
the reshaped variables generated by -xrewide-, ordered by stub and 
j-value and by j-value and stub, respectively).

Best wishes (and have a nice Xmas, solstice or whatever users may 
celebrate at this time of year)

Roger

TITLE
      xrewide: Extended version of reshape wide

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      The xrewide package is an extended version of reshape wide.
      It saves results in variable characteristics, in addition to
      the dataset characteristics saved by reshape.  This is done
      using additional options for assigning the values and/or
      value labels of the j-variable to characteristics of the
      corresponding generated output variables.  These
      characteristics can be useful for defining column headings
      if the reshaped output dataset is output to a table using
      the listtab package, which can be downloaded from SSC.
