I want to generate a descriptive table with occupation titles as the row variable, and the columns containing information about these occupations in my data set. My standard approach for table generation is to generate a matrix, fill the cells as needed, and to use outtable (from ssc) to obtain the latex code.
Now this approach does not work, as the occupation titles are fairly long, and beyond the 32 character-limitation for row names. Does anyone have a good alternative approach, or knows a user-written program that could be of help?
Similarly, I want to produce simple tables that explain abbrevations in my data set, for instance:
DEU - Germany
USA - United States of America
...
What would be a convenient way of producing the latex-code for such a table that contains string variables in Stata? (I believe matrices can contain strings in Mata, but is there a simpler alternative to this approach?)
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts-
