estout: Use \tabularnewline instead of \\ at the end of lines

[Fredrik Paues]

The question is in the title :-) Is it possible to make estout use \tabularnewline instead of \\ for new lines?

[Fredrik Paues]

For esttab, just use end(\tabularnewline. But don't know yet for estout.

[Fredrik Paues]

For estout, you also just use \tabularnewline. (But you can't have more than one end() option...

[Andrew Musau]

estout is from SSC (FAQ Advice #12).
