Hi,
I am using Stata MP 14 do-file editor, both on a Windows and Ubuntu Linux machine. The transition between the two setups works smoothly, except for the comments. Example:
When I write the following do-file in Windows:
the comments are not aligned under Linux. The code looks frequently like this:
Given that Stata uses UTF8 encoding on both types of machines, I found this issues quite confusing.
While this might seem to be a minor issue, when writing rather complex code, things get pretty messy. Therefore, I am wondering if I can fix this issue somehow. Are there any settings that I might have overlooked? Are you aware of alternative editors (on Linux) that work well with code written in Windows?
I am very grateful for your help!
