If you want to allow say
myprogram
to be abbreviatable as
myprog
you would need to release two or more ado files, In particular,
myprog.ado could contain in its entirety
program myprog
myprogram `0'
end
If you want to allow -myprogra-, -myprogr- as well each of those
abbreviations requires a separate .ado file too.
Equations can be indicated using text or SMCL directives. You would
need to provide a link to files containing anything else. For example,
Stata doesn't support TeX ir HTML mark-up in help files.

As a sidelight, that isn't enough if you want your program to work
with prefix commands like svy and by. You can probably make it work,
but it may just be better to give your program a shorter name in the
first place.
