Piecewise execution of do-files in Stata
Do-files in Stata easily get a bit lengthy. Of course, you can try to shorten do-files and distribute code onto several do-files and have one master file that runs all of the respective sub-do-files (which are included by do dosubfile1.do). Alternatively, you can leave the do-file longish but write your code such that you only run parts of the code at once:
Numbering in LaTeX documents
Manuscripts typically contain many different types of numbering: page numbering, sections, subsections, figures, tables etc.
Continue reading “Numbering in LaTeX documents”#LaTeXtip: to reset page numbers write \setcounter{page}{0}, to increment by 2 pages write \addtocounter{page}{2}, and to change styles write \renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}} and use either roman (I, II etc), alph (a, b etc), Alph (A, B etc) or arabic (1, 2 etc)
#LaTeXTip: To insert an empty space with the same size as a word (say “hi”), write “\phantom{hi}” – might be useful for small quizzes or tests
Multiple lines commands in Stata
Many Stata commands get easily quite long. Take, for example, a command to generate a figure – possibly the layout definitions are quite lengthy and difficult to read. Stretching commands over several lines makes it much easier to write and read, and less prone to errors.
