Re: st: Setting log type with -project-

[Robert Picard <picard@netbox.com>]

I feel that plain text log files loose some visual information (and
hyperlinks) as compare to what is seen in Stata's result window so I
set -project- to always use SMCL format. At any time, -translate- can
be used to convert any SMCL format log file to text format so I
assumed this would not be much of a burden.

Do you want plain tex log files as a matter of personal preference or
is it related to sharing them with people that do not have Stata?
