st: Sweave, SASweave, Stataweave?
.
R and S have Sweave, a way to get results and figures and code into
another document fairly easily.
SAS also has a SASweave.
I can't seem to find "Stataweave". I have found that Phil Schumm
produced this system below. Has any one other than Phil found this
approach as useful as a stataweave approach? It looks good.
Reproducible research using Stata

Abstract
In this presentation, we shall address two issues concerning the
research process: (1) the need for an efficient way to transfer
results obtained using a statistical package into a written report,
and (2) the need to organize and package one's work so that those
results are easily reproducible. Previous work addressing these issues
has concentrated on tools written specifically for use with S-Plus/R
and LaTeX and has involved mixing code and written material in a
single document (e.g., Sweave). In contrast, our approach involves a
method for extracting results (e.g., estimation results, graphs, and
even pieces of code and raw output) generated by a suitably organized
do-file (or files) into a series of intermediary files that can then
be easily imported into a second written document. Although the
document could be constructed in a variety of formats, we shall
demonstrate how this may done using reStructuredText—an intuitive and
easy-to-use markup syntax that can then be automatically translated
into a variety of final formats (e.g., LaTeX, HTML). This system may
be used not only for research but also when teaching statistics with
Stata as a method for students to organize and to submit their work.
