AW: st: Table Export of suffix / index

["Meulemann Max" <mmeulemann@ethz.ch>]

Though it is not the most important problem in the world, maybe someone else will have it. My solution was to use the \fixltx2e package in latex and then adjust the labels to include a \textsubscript{2} so I could label my variables into
label var CO2 "CO\textsubscript{2} 

that works fine for the regression tables but not suxtex, but you cant ask for the world.

Hello,

Yes you are right, symbols and greek letters work but apparently, any mathematical solution does not.
Sorry, I don't know the solution!

Thx for the tip, but it is somehow strange. 

If I was looking for filling in a greek lamdba it would work when I add coeflabels(CO2capita "$\lambda$")

but when I try

coeflabels(CO2capita "$CO_2$")

he only exports one $

Nobody else ever had that problem?

Hello,

In esttab I write:   coeflabels(income "$\lambda$") and then the latex table
shows the greek lamba letter nicely.

In estout I write:   label varlabels(income "$\lambda$") and it also works
nicely!

Since Stata treats $ as a global macro reference, you have to escape it with \.
This should work (at least in Stata 11.2) label var x "\$CO_2\$"
Best,
