Carole--
You might trick -estout- (SSC) into doing this, or -collapse- and use
-listtex- (SSC) or somesuch, but I would recommend writing a loop
which calculates the statistics and writes them to a text file with
-file- as in

etc.
sysuse auto, clear
ren rep78 x1
ren for x2
ren mpg x3
file open t using /tab.tex, write replace
levelsof x1, loc(l1)
levelsof x2, loc(l2)
file write t " & `: var label x2' \\ "
file write t _n "`: var label x1' "
foreach c of loc l2 {
file write t " & `: label `: val label x2' `c'' "
}
file write t " \\" _n
foreach r of loc l1 {
file write t "`r' &"
foreach c of loc l2 {
su x3 if x1==`r' & x2==`c', meanonly
file write t " `: di %4.3g r(mean)' & "
}
file write t " \\ " _n " & "
foreach c of loc l2 {
su x3 if x1==`r' & x2==`c', meanonly
file write t " `: di %4.3g r(N)' & "
}
file write t " \\ " _n
}
file close t
type /tab.tex
tab x1 x2, sum(x3) freq mean
The above is just meant to be a quick example of what you can do with
this approach, which is completely general and can be adapted to any
need that might arise. (I have even used it to make graphs in TeX
files using pstricks, which approach is of course quite obsolete now.)
Though if you wanted an RTF file or an XML file you would be better
off using -estout- or the -tabstatmat- plus -xml_tab- approach.
