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.
