This is a simple review of the scripting language Stata created for a class that I TAed. It also doubles as an example of how to:

1. Use Stata with Knitr. (Yes, that's right, we're calling Stata from R. Why not just teach students R, you ask? As I said, I was the TA.)
2. Make output toggle-able (Lines 1-23).
3. Add custom code highlighting (Line 25).

Viewing the Final Result

The file main.html shows the results. You can also view the results at RPubs.

Compiling the File

The R-markdown file main.rmd ought to be compileable with RStudio once one changes:

• (Line 55) statapath is the path to your Stata executable. Note that this will only work if you already have Stata installed!
• (Line 56) rootpath is the directory that contains the main.rmd file.
