texdoc warning: (texdoc do not running; nothing to do)

[Edoardo Marchesi]

Hi, I am trying to include a latex code in a Stata do file using the texdoc.
I tried to replicate the example found in Jann, Ben (2016), but I don't quite get the syntax of the code.

I tried to run the following

texdoc init example.tex, replace
/*tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stata}
\begin{document}
\section*{Exercise 1}
Open the 1978 Automobile Data and summarize the variables.
tex*/
texdoc stlog
sysuse auto
summarize
texdoc stlog close
/*tex
\section*{Exercise 2}
Run a regression of price on milage and weight.
tex*/
texdoc stlog
regress price mpg weight
texdoc stlog close
/*tex
\end{document}

Whenever I run this I get the following warning: (texdoc do not running; nothing to do)

I am not familiar with the package; do I need to run

Do I need to run

texdoc do myfile

before the first block of code I reported?
In that case, should "myfile" be created beforehand?

[Anders Alexandersson]

Edoardo, if you first save the file as "myfile.texdoc" then running this code should work:

texdoc do myfile.texdoc

See the help file for more details.

[Edoardo Marchesi]

Edoardo, if you first save the file as "myfile.texdoc" then running this code should work:

texdoc do myfile.texdoc

See the help file for more details.

Thank you, Anders. However, when I do so it says that I am exceeding the system limits, even though I have

set matsize 11000

Could you tell me what is specifically exceeding the limits and causing texdoc not to initialize properly?

[Anders Alexandersson]

Edoardo, I would

set trace on

and then try again in order to trace the execution of the code.

Which version of Stata do you use and on which operating system?
