st: New versions of -listtab-, -sdecode-, -bmjcip-, -chardef-, -xrewide-, -ingap- and -rtfutil- on SSC

Thanks as always to Kit Baum, new versions of the packahes -listtab-,
-sdecode-, -bmjcip-, -chardef-, -xrewide-, -ingap- and -rtfutil- are
now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to
do this, or -adoupdate- if you already have old versions of these packages.
The packages -listtab-, -sdecode-, -bmjcip-, -chardef-, -xrewide-,
-ingap- and -rtfutil- are described as below on my website, and
together form a comprehensive toolkit for creating tables from Stata
datasets, in a variety of document formats, including TeX, LaTeX, HTML,
RTF, and possibly XML-based word processor formats yet to be invented.
-listtab- supersedes the old package -listtex-, which users can still
download from SSC. The new versions of all these packages have updated
on-line help files, containing a hypertext reference to Newson (2012),
which is now the definitive reference for the -listtab- team of
packages. I would like to thank Lisa Gilmore at StataCorp for suggesting
that something like this would be a good idea.
Best wishes
Roger

package listtab from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata11
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
listtab: List variables as rows of a TeX, HTML or word processor
table
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
listtab outputs a list of variables to the Stata log or to a file
as TeX,
HTML or word processor table rows, which can then be inserted
into a TeX,
HTML or word processor table by cutting and pasting and/or file
linking
and/or embedding (eg using the TeX \input command). listtab
produces the
table rows, but may also produce a set of header lines before the
table
rows and/or footer lines after the table rows, containing
preambles and/or
table definitions and/or table headers and/or table footers, as
specified
by the user.

package sdecode from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata11
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
sdecode: Decode a numeric variable to string, formatting
unlabelled values
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
sdecode is an extended version of decode. It takes, as input, a
numeric
variable, and generates, as output, a string variable, with values
corresponding to value labels of the numeric variable for
labelled values,
and (optionally) formatted values of the numeric variable for
unlabelled
values. The output string values therefore appear as the numeric
input
values appear in output from the tabulate command. The output string
variable may replace the input numeric variable or be generated
as a new
variable.

package bmjcip from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata11
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
bmjcip: Format confidence intervals and P-values for medical journals
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
bmjcip reformats a list of numeric variables, containing estimates
and/or confidence limits and/or P-values, to string variables,
containing the same values formatted for presentation in medical
journals. The new string variables replace the old numeric
variables, and have the same names, variable labels, variable
characteristics, and positions in the dataset. bmjcip is usually
used in output datasets (or resultssets) produced by the parmest
package, and the reformatted string variables are usually later
output using the listtab package, for input to Microsoft Word or
other word processors. It requires the sdecode package in order to
work. The sdecode, parmest and listtab packages can all be
downloaded from SSC.

package chardef from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata11
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
chardef: Assign values to a characteristic of a list of items
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
chardef is a mass-production version of the char define
command. It assigns a list of values to a named
characteristic of a list of items, which can be variables, or
the current dataset. If the evarlist is not supplied, then
chardef assigns the values to the named characteristic for
all variables in the dataset currently in the memory. If the
named characteristic is not supplied, then the values are
assigned to the characteristic varname, used by the list
command. If the list of values is shorter than the evarlist,
then the list of values is extended on the right with copies
of the last value. Optionally, a prefix and/or a suffix may
be added to the values. The charundef module resets a list
of characteristics to empty strings for a list of items.

package xrewide from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
xrewide: Extended version of reshape wide
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The xrewide package is an extended version of reshape wide.
It saves results in variable characteristics, in addition to
the dataset characteristics saved by reshape. This is done
using additional options for assigning the values and/or
value labels of the j-variable to characteristics of the
corresponding generated output variables. These
characteristics can be useful for defining column headings
if the reshaped output dataset is output to a table using
the listtab package, which can be downloaded from SSC.

package ingap from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
ingap: Insert gap observations in a dataset
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
ingap inserts gap observations into a list of positions in an
existing data
set. All existing variables in the dataset will have missing
values in the
gap observations, unless the user specifies otherwise. Often,
the user
specifies non-missing values in the gap observations for one
particular
existing string variable, known as the row label variable. This
row label
variable may then be output with a list of other variables to form a
publication-ready table with labelled gap rows, using the listtab
package.
Alternatively, the row label variable may be encoded, using the
sencode
package, to form a numeric variable with value labels. This
numeric variable
can then be plotted on one axis of a graph to define axis labels,
including
gap axis labels. The sencode and listtab packages are
downloadable from SSC
or from this website.

package rtfutil from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata11
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
rtfutil: Utilities for writing Rich Text Format (RTF) files
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The rtfutil package is a suite of file handling utilities for
producing Rich Text Format (RTF) files in Stata, possibly
containing plots and tables. These RTF files can then be
opened by Microsoft Word, and possibly by alternative free
word processors. The plots can be included by inserting, as
linked objects, graphics files that might be produced by the
graph export command in Stata. The tables can be included by
using the listtab command, downloadable from SSC, with the
handle() option.
