st: Tables in Tex

["Bianca B." <bianca268@yahoo.com>]

Dear All,

I found in an old post of Martin Weìss the program below to obtain a table in tex format.

Could you help me to understand the language in order to use the program to make other tables? Which is the meaning of 'capt' at the beginning of the program? And in the last line, which is the meaning of -p -c -b ?

Thank you in advance for your help,
Bianca

// capt ssc inst estout

qui{
    clear*
    set obs 10000
    gen x=  rnormal() 

    estpost summarize x, det
}

esttab . using myfile.tex, replace ///
cells("count mean min p25 p50 p75 max") ///
noobs page

!texify -p -c -b --run-viewer myfile.tex
