Abstract

R Markdown, an extension of Pandoc Markdown, is promoted as a grand unified solution to writing computer-generated scientific documents. It inputs a text document and outputs documents in .docx, .html, and .pdf (via LaTeX) formats. The output documents can contain publication-quality tables, graphics, and also equations (in .html or .odf formats). Unsurprisingly, the input text file can be generated with Stata, using the official Stata file command, together with the SSC Archive packages listtab to make the tables and tfinsert to make the rest of the document. I demonstrate how this might be done.
