markstat
command comes with a help file, so you can type in Statahelp markstat
. The current version is 2.5, released 13 December 2019.markstat
command will read this script and generate a web page,PDF file or Word document that combines the code with the output and your narrative. (Or even a slide show, asdescribed below.) Here's the HTML output:.md
file with all Stata code removed, and the Stata code, which goes in a .do
file with all annotations removed. We call this the tangle step..md
file is just plain Markdown. We use a placeholder of the form {{n}}
, where n
is a chunk number, to mark where the Stata code block used to be, so please don’t use double braces in your narrative..do
file is just plain Stata. We insert a comment of the form //_n
to mark the beginning of the n-th code chunk, and //_^
to mark the end of the last chunk, so please avoid these patterns if you include comments. The command runs this file through Stata to obtain a .smcl
log..stmd
, but the extension does not have to be typed. Winning eleven 2002 usa ps1 iso torrent. I recommend that you run Stata from the same directory where you stored the script.pdf
is used if you want to generate a PDF document, which we do via LaTeX, so this option requires additional tooling as explained in Getting Started.docx
is used to generate a Word document instead. Just like that!slides
generates an HTML slide show using the S5 engine and the default Blue Spiral theme, and slides(santiago)
uses the Santiago theme. Add a +
for incremental model, typing slides(+)
or slides(santiago+)
.beamer
generates a PDF slide show via LaTeX using Beamer and the default theme, and beamer(theme)
uses any of the many Beamer themes available, for example beamer(madrid)
. Add a +
for incremental mode.mathjax
is use to activate the MathJax JavaScript library, which does an excellent job of rendering mathematical equations on the web. Not needed for PDF or Word documents, where LaTeX equations are rendered natively.bundle
is used to generate self-contained HTML documents, encoding all images and ancillary files using base64. MathJax cannot be bundled, but a local link is used instead. This option is not needed for PDF or Word documents, which are always self-contained.bibliography
is used to resolve citations using a BibTeX database and generate a list of references at the end of the document, as explained below. Works with all formats.strict
controls the way the command distinguishes Markdown annotations from Stata commands, as explained in the Stata code section below. Code fences are now detected automatically, so this option can be omitted in most cases.nodo
is used to skip running the Stata code when you have just tweaked the narrative. Useful for presentations, where you may change from S5 to Beamer, or try a different theme, without rerunning the analysis. The idea comes from Ben Jann’s nodo
option in texdoc
.nor
is the equivalent of nodo
for R code, and will skip running R commands, using instead the most recent output.keep
will save intermediate files which are now deleted to avoid cluttering your hard drive. By default we keep only smcl
and rout
files to enable nodo
and keep
to keep everything and keep(list)
to keep selected files, for example keep(do R)
to keep the generated Stata do file and R script.markstat
command uses John MacFarlane's Pandoc to convert Markdown to HTML or LaTeX, so you first need to install this converter as explained in Getting Started.---
for level 2. You can also define a heading at levels one to six by starting a line with one to six hashmarks, as in ### a level 3 heading
.
, a Pandoc extension that makes the line break clearer.*italics*
. For strong emphasis using a bold font wrap the text using two asterisks or underscores, as in **bold**
. For a monospace font suitable for code use backticks, for example to refer to the regress
command type `regress`
.*
, plus +
, or minus -
sign for a bulleted list, or a number followed by a period, for example 1.
, for a numbered list. You add items to a list by starting a line with the same symbol or with a number. Items in ordered lists are numbered consecutively starting with the first number, regardeless of the numbers actually used for the other items. To end the list enter a blank line.[GR's website](https://data.princeton.edu)

and a line break as <br/>
. This is not recommended if the aim is to generate a PDF file.$y = alpha + beta x + e$
. If you are generating HTML this will be rendered by default using Unicode characters. For best results, however, use the mathjax
option to link to the MathJax JavaScript library, which does a an excellent job rendering LaTeX equations. If you are rendering PDF via LaTeX the equations are rendered natively by LaTeX. If you are generating a docx
file, Pandoc translates LaTeX to native Word equation objects. markstat
ensures that equations in display blocks are not confused with Stata code.%
and contain the relevant information.strict
option of markstat
uses code fences instead, with Stata code blocks defined ass
may be enclosed in braces if you wish, so the opening fence may be coded ```{s}
.```{s/}
. Of course you can always supress output using quietly
.markstat
command will remove one level of indentation if present.mata:
and exit using end
, but you can also code a Mata block directly using an m
instead of an s
. For an example see Mata Matters.r
instead of an s
, provided of course you have R installed. For an example see quantiles in Stata and R.markstat
detects use of Stata, Mata or R fenced code blocks in the first 50 lines of your script it will set strict
mode automatically, so you can omit that option in most cases.`s [fmt] expression`
, where fmt
is an optional format, followed by an expression.markstat
command will generate code to evaluate the expression using Stata's display
command, and will splice the output inline with the text.`s e(r2)`
. If you prefer to display the value with 2 decimal places only use `s %5.2f e(r2)`
.m
instead of an s
. The markstat
command will generate a printf()
function call to display the expression with the given format. If the format is omitted it defaults to %s
, so the expression should yield a string.`r expression`
. There is no optional format, but you can always use R's round()
. For examples see quantiles.|
, and alignment is indicated by placing a colon in the header underlining. The previous table would be coded as follows:esttab
command may be found here.width
attribute to the Markdown link, specifying a width in inches using in
, in centimeters using cm
, or a relative size using %
, as in the following examplewidth
option of Stata's graph export
command. I then render them at their natural size using a default link. If I specified a relative width of 100% the image would grow and shrink as the browser resizes.markstat
can also handle bibliographic references. Iso 9001 management review meeting presentation template.knuth92
, and you can cite it in the text using an ampersand and the key, as in @knuth92
, with options to include page numbers and other information.bibliography
option coordinates with Pandoc's cite-proc
to resolve the references and list them at the end of the document. More information here.markstat
provides a user-friendly interface for producing slide showsin HTML using the S5 engine or in PDF format using Beamer, using plain Stata code combined with a narrativewritten in Markdown with a few simple conventions.![title](source){width='60%'}
. I recommend that you always specify a relative size as shown in this example. If you are using Beamer, add {.fragile}
to the heading of slides that contain Stata commands or output (or any verbatim content).markstat
