re: st: ---texdoc--- Problem with the /*tex...tex*/ feature

["Airey, David C" <david.airey@vanderbilt.edu>]

.

It is still working for me under Stata 12 using version 11.2 version control. I use texdoc in non-interactive mode. I can send you an example off-list that works for me, for you to see if they work for you.

You might try putting your /*tex ... tex*/ on different lines, like,

/*tex

\end{document} 

tex*/

I'm sure that texdoc does work with TeXnicCenter as the second fragment with the tex prefix before every line does work. Could you give me pointers as to what's going wrong with my code / setup?
