Thx for the tip, but it is somehow strange. If I was looking for filling in a greek lamdba it would work when I add coeflabels(CO2capita "$\lambda$") but when I try coeflabels(CO2capita "$CO_2$") he only exports one $ Nobody else ever had that problem? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] Im Auftrag von Lovisa Persson Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

In estout I write: label varlabels(income "$\lambda$") and it also works nicely!

Stata does not interpret LaTeX mark-up internally. Note in particular that the $ sign is used in Stata in global macro references (when it is not taken literally as a dollar sign). So using $ $ or $$ $$ to indicate math[s] would be difficult at best in Stata. > > By the way, $CO_2$ in LaTeX gives you italic "CO", which is not > standard for chemical notation. > > Nick > > On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 2:07 PM, Meulemann Max <mmeulemann@ethz.ch> wrote: >> Im using Stata 12.
