Abstract

In this talk, I will introduce a new command for processing a dynamic LaTeX document in Stata, i.e., a document containing both LaTeX paragraphs and Stata code. A key feature of the new command is that it tracks changes in the Stata code and executes the code only when needed, allowing for an efficient workflow. The command is useful for creating automated statistical reports, writing articles with data analysis, preparing slides for a methods course or a conference talk, or even writing a complete textbook with examples of applications.
