This is very impressive. Are there any plans to distribute a
conversion package from .sthlp to .html on SSC? (Or even in official
Stata, in case any StataCorp people are listening?)
You don't need one. Just do
log html foo.sthlp foo.html
which is all that my routine is doing in processing these files. This
is the same trick used by -log2html-, which has been around for quite
a while.
Here is a Mata function that converts all .hlp and .sthlp in the
current working directory:
-----------------
version 10.1
mata:
void function genhlpfiles()
{
helpfiles = dir(".","files","*.*hlp")
if (rows(helpfiles) > 0) {
helpnames = substr(helpfiles, 1,
(strpos(helpfiles,".") :- 1))
for(i=1; i<=rows(helpfiles); i++) {
cmd = "log html "+helpfiles[i]+" "+helpnames[i]+".html,
replace"
cmd
stata(cmd)
}
}
}
end
