Re: st: Do file editor in Stata 12 for Mac

[Sergiy Radyakin <serjradyakin@gmail.com>]

Hi, I think the original poster wanted to know about the platform
differences between Windows and Mac versions of Stata. Stata
internally uses Scintilla/SciTe editor component, which does support
code folding in MacOSx,

Code folding for Mac has just been announced in Stata 13 (see #70):

I don't know what prevented including it in an earlier version of
Stata, at the same generation as in Windows version.

Best, Sergiy Radyakin

>> I have a do file with many lines of code. In Stata 12 Windows version, in my do file, I used to divide the code into sections and fold each section between two curly brackets so that the folded part of the code is hidden in the do file which tidies up the code. But I recently moved to Mac and now using Mac Stata 12 version. The do file editor now does not facilitate the use of curly brackets to fold lines of code. I wonder why and if there is a way I can achieve this.
