st: New package -dta2html- available on SSC

["P. Wilner Jeanty" <pwjeanty@gmail.com>]

Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new package -dta2html- is available
for download on SSC. -dta2html- generates minimum HTML (and CSS) code
to nicely display on the web a Stata dataset loaded in memory. The
output could be enhanced with JavaScript and JQuery. For instance, one
could hover the mouse on a variable name and display the label and
other characteristics for that variable. But for now -dta2html- serves
the need I had.


Examples

  1) Generate HTML code to display the auto dataset on the web

        . sysuse auto, clear

        . dta2html, saving(auto_dataset) pagetitle("The Auto Dataset
in my Browser") tabtitle("Auto Dataset")


    2) Generate HTML code to display the auto dataset on the web and
provide a link to download the data

        . dta2html, saving(auto_dataset, replace)
datalink("http://www.stata-press.com/data/r12/auto.dta";)
todisp("Download data from here", "txt")


 Best,
