Re: st: Table Export of suffix / index

Max might possibly like to investigate the production of LaTeX tables using the resultsset route, using the SSC packages -sdecode- and -listtab-. The -sdecode- package allows the addition of prefixes and suffixes when decoding a labelled variable to a string variable. And these prefixes and suffixes may use LaTeX code (or plain TeX or HTML). See Newson (2012).

I would be surprised if there was not a workaround using -sutex- and/or -estout-, though.

Best wishes

Roger

You have to use Stata to write LaTeX code, which is then interpreted
externally. Stata does not interpret LaTeX mark-up internally. Note in
particular that the $ sign is used in Stata in global macro references
(when it is not taken literally as a dollar sign). So using $ $ or $$
$$ to indicate math[s] would be difficult at best in Stata.

By the way, $CO_2$ in LaTeX gives you italic "CO", which is not
standard for chemical notation.

Im using Stata 12. I d like to directly export variables label names like CO_2 or x^2 so that Latex will display them properly when I tell tabout, sutex or estout to use labels.

I tried several version like

label var x "$CO_2$"
or
label var x "\[CO_2\]

but I either just get a $ or $\backslash$

Is there a way to label the variable properly that latex understands it.
