Re: st: long local macro with line break

[Sergiy Radyakin <serjradyakin@gmail.com>]

Lin, here are two examples:

local part1 `""Composite Index" "Life Expectancy" "Injury Death"
"Cancer Death" "Spent 30%+ Income on Rent"'
local part2 `""Preventable Hospitalization" "Poor or Fair Health"
"Obese" "Current Smoker""'
local ctlist2 `"`part1' `part2'"'
display `"`ctlist2'"'

macro drop _all

local ctlist2 `""Composite Index""'
local ctlist2 `"`ctlist2' "Life Expectancy""'
local ctlist2 `"`ctlist2' "Injury Death""'
local ctlist2 `"`ctlist2' "Cancer Death""'
local ctlist2 `"`ctlist2' "Spent 30%+ Income on Rent""'
local ctlist2 `"`ctlist2' "Preventable Hospitalization""'
local ctlist2 `"`ctlist2' "Poor or Fair Health""'
local ctlist2 `"`ctlist2' "Obese""'
local ctlist2 `"`ctlist2' "Current Smoker""'
display `"`ctlist2'"'

Best, Sergiy Radyakin
