Dear list members,
anyone knows well-functioning user-written commands to evoke PDFLaTeX from Stata? I found -texify- (ssc describe texify), but to me it simply doesn't work (ie, executes inconsequentially), and I could find virtually no discussion about it online. I also noted -texmerge- and its associated -texcompiler- (ssc describe texmerge), but there is very scant documentation, again no online discussion, and I keep running into a problem suggestive of defective code (error about two directories having not to be the same when they are in fact clearly different). Any other command I overlooked?
Note that I do not want to create a tex document in Stata. I'm already exporting some command's output as .tex using -collect export-, I just need to further evoke a shell command via Miktex.
Thanks.
