Label model names with esttab

[Taylor Walter]

Hello, I am trying to do something very straightforward: give a title to the names of my "models" with esttab (from SSC). See here:

clear
sysuse auto
mean mpg price trunk weight length 
eststo, title("All")
mean mpg price trunk weight length if foreign == 0
eststo, title("Domestic")
esttab, cell("b se") label

                             Mean                      Mean             
                                b           se            b           se

I tried adding titles via this post: https://www.stata.com/statalist/arch.../msg01441.html but it does not seem to be working properly. What am I missing?

Apparently things have changed since the time of the post you referenced, from 14 years ago.

The output of

help estab

show us the current approach to making use of model titles.

. esttab, cell("b se") label mtitles
