Re: st: Esttab - indicate whether control variables are included

[Laura Sunder-Plassmann <lsunderplassmann@gmail.com>]

Thanks, yes, this works, but it treats the row indicating my controls
as part of the regressors (middle of the table). I would ideally like
it in the footer. Scalar seems to accept strings at least to the
extent that it labelled my row correctly, it just did not fill in the
columns.
