New version of htmlutil on SSC

[Roger Newson]

Thanks once again to Kit Baum, a new version of the htmlutil package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the ssc command to do this, or adoupdate if you already have an old version of htmlutil.

The htmlutil package is described as below on my website. The new version adds extra options head, headattributes(head_attributes_list) and headfrom(filename) for the htmlopen module, allowing the user to open a HTML output file inserting a HTML head, which can be a minimal standard head or a customised head from a file. And new attributes body and bodyattributes(body_attributes_list) to the htmlopen module, allowing the user to open a HTML output file opening a HTML body. And a new attribute body for the htmlclose module, allowing the user to close a HTML body opened by htmlopen before closing the HTML output file. And new modules htmlimg to insert a HTML <img> tag to link an image into the HTML output file, and htmllink to insert a hyperlink into the HTML output file.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
htmlutil: Utilities for writing Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) files

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The htmlutil package is a suite of file handling utilities for
producing Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) files in Stata. The
user can open the file for input using htmlopen, and close the file
using htmlclose. In between these statements, the user can insert
linked images from files using htmlimg, insert hypertext links
using htmllink, insert HTML tables using the listtab package, and
insert more HTML using the tfinsert package. The packages listtab
and tfinsert are downloadable from SSC.

Not sure if you'd be interested, but I have Mata classes defined for all the HTML elements. I haven't tried writing any ado wrappers around the class objects, but I suspect it would be fairly trivial and could make it a bit easier to extend your current package more easily (e.g., an ado wrapper that could be used to construct an HTML form or something like that). The source is available at https://github.com/wbuchanan/matahtml.
