Abstract

In this article, I discuss the use of webdoc for creating HTML or Markdown documents from within Stata. The webdoc command provides a way to embed HTML or Markdown code directly in a do-file and automate the inte- gration of results from Stata in the final document. The command can be used, for example, to create a webpage documenting your data analysis, including all Stata output and graphs. More generally, the command can be used to create and maintain a website that contains results computed by Stata.
