st: New version of -dotex- on SSC

[Roger Newson <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Thanks again to Kit Baum, a new version of the -dotex- package is now 
available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do 
this, or -adoupdate- if you already have an old version of -dotex-.
The -dotex- package is described as below on my website, and is used to 
execute a do-file to produce Stata Journal (SJ) LaTeX log file. The new 
version fixes a bug, which caused an error if the file path of the 
folder for Stata temporary files contained spaces (which is often the 
case under some Microsoft environments, although not under my own 
Windows XP).
I would like to thank Luciano Lavecchia of the Banca d'Italia (again) 
for alerting me to this horrible bug. It is very helpful when a user 
tests 2 of my packages (-dotex- and -expgen-) to destruction on the same 
day.
Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      dotex: Execute a do-file generating a SJ LaTeX log

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      dotex is a version of the dolog package, and causes Stata to 
execute the
      commands stored in a do-file named filename.do as if they were 
entered from
      the keyboard, and echos the commands as it executes them, 
creating a log file
      filename.tex written in Stata Journal (SJ) LaTeX. The file 
filename.tex (or
      parts of it) can then be included in the stlog environment of SJ 
LaTeX. The
      dotex package was derived by hybridising the dolog package with 
the SJ's
      logopen and logclose, which also create log files written in SJ 
LaTeX for
      inclusion in the stlog environment. The dotex package has the 
advantage that
      a user can run the same do-file using dotex, dolog and do, 
creating a SJ
      LaTeX log file, a text log file, and no log file, respectively.
