st: New version of -listtab- on SSC

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

Thanks once again to Kit Baum, a new version of the -listtab- package is 
now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to 
do this, or -adoupdate- if you already have an old version of -listtab-.

The -listtab- package is described as below on my website, and also in 
Newson (2012), and is the successor to -listtex-. The new version adds 2 
new options -headchars()- and -footchars()-, containing lists of names 
of variable characteristics, which are used to produce column labels in 
table headers and footers. Variable characteristics are now the 
recommended place to store column labels in Stata datasets destined to 
be converted into tables. The new options were introduced to save a lot 
of tedious calls to -listtab_vars- to produce multiple table header rows 
in complicated tables.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      listtab: List variables as rows of a TeX, HTML or word processor 
table

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      listtab outputs a list of variables to the Stata log or to a file 
as TeX,
      HTML or word processor table rows, which can then be inserted 
into a TeX,
      HTML or word processor table by cutting and pasting and/or file 
linking
      and/or embedding (eg using the TeX \input command). listtab 
produces the
      table rows, but may also produce a set of header lines before the 
table
      rows and/or footer lines after the table rows, containing 
preambles and/or
      table definitions and/or table headers and/or table footers, as 
specified
      by the user.
