Indeed, there are several others who have had a go
at some tabling problem.
The idiosyncratic surveys in
Problems with tables, Part II
Stata Journal 3(4): 420--439 (2003)
Problems with tables, Part I
Stata Journal 3(3): 309--324 (2003)
covered some of the terrain.
Meanwhile, the ingenious, whether Roger or dodger,
can take a stab at the help for -_tab-.
Mind you, as an documented undocumented command,
even as compared with an undocumented undocumented
command, -_tab- may not survive the caprices of
Stata's developers. But it looks
like the object of admiration given its touch
of class.
