Re: st: RE: format coefficients in -esttab

[jean-luc morin-chesnel <jeanluc.morinchesnel@gmail.com>]

William,

However I am not sure how to try your suggestion in latex.
I know that this not belong 100% to this list but still it can help
those who use esttab as well
Do you have in mind what kind of code I should type in latex in order
to, lets say, emphatise coefficients larger than 0?

I use winedt.

Many Thanks again
