esttab: add footnootes to latex that are formatted consistently across multiple lines

[Tom Ford]

Hello,
I am trying to export regression tables in latex using esttab.
I am having trouble finding a way to format very long footnotes. The code I am using is something like this

sysuse auto, clear

reg price weight length
eststo reg1

reg price weight length mpg
eststo reg2

esttab reg1 reg2 using "testtex.tex", replace ///
label se star(* 0.10 ** 0.05 *** 0.01) b(3) se(3) compress ///
noobs nomtitle collabels(none)  nonotes nogaps ///
 title("This is a table with very long footnotes") ///
 substitute([htbp] [!htbp] \begin{tabular} \small\begin{tabular}) ///
 addnotes("This is a very long footnote that I would like to have formatted across multiple lines withouth affecting the column spacing" ///
 "I am aware I can split the footnote in multiple lines. But this is not what I want to do")

in LaTex the table looks something like this.

I would like the footnote to automatically change the line once it reaches the table witdth. without distorting the column space. Does anyone know how I could do this directly using esttab?

thanks a lot in advance for your help

If anyone is interested I found the solution. it is simply necessary to substitute the `{l}` with `{p{\linewidth}}` in the footnotes. It can be achieved simply by adding this to the endo of the substitute command

 
 substitute([htbp] [!htbp] \begin{tabular} \small\begin{tabular} {l} {p{\linewidth}})

Hi Tom Ford, This is of great help! Thanks!

In a similar vein, Is col (2) wider because of the footnote? If not, how would you get similar column wide in cols (1) and (2)? Thanks.
