A programmer's command to build formatted statistical tables
Abstract. The frmttable command is a tool for experienced users and programmers
to create formatted tables from statistics and write them to Word or LATEX
files. My objective is to provide as much control over the layout and formatting
of the statistical tables as possible in both file formats while keeping the syntax
simple. Users can create rectangular tables with any configuration of data and
text; specify numeric formats, font sizes, and font types at the table cell level;
specify row spacing; and place lines in or around the table. A complex table can
be built by merging or appending new statistics to an existing table, and multiple
tables can be included in the same document, making it possible to create a
fully formatted statistical appendix from a single do-file. In this article, I provide
examples of the ways in which programmers call frmttable to create formatted
tables of statistics.
