I think it's because this would involve introducing a whole bunch of multiple fonts into the Stata viewer. Like mutiple sizes, maths symbols and Greek/Hebrew letters.

Best wishes

Thanks, Roger!

I wonder why Stata does not allow the full array of SMCL tools to be used in
.sthlp files?

Hi Ariel

I think the {sub} tag is only supposed to work in graph text. I don't see
any way it can be implemented in SMCL as used in .sthlp files. In my .sthlp
files, I always express subscripts using underscores. The online help for my
-parmhet- command gives some examples of this.


I hope this helps.

Best wishes

     Hi All,

     In writing a help file, I would like to use a subscript, however it
doesn't
     seem to work as intended. Y{sub:t} shows up just like that, as opposed
to Y
     followed up with subscript t.

     Thanks!

     Ariel
