  • (META) Style: Hyphens When Quoting a Command Name and Others

    Hi all,

    I don't exactly remember what the general convention for using hyphens when quoting Stata commands and other similar stuff. I recall hearing that this convention was William Gould's idea, but I haven't been able to find clarification on when exactly to use hyphens.

    Which of the following do I enclose in hyphens?
    • Stata commands (yes, obviously)
    • Stata command options (???)
    • Stata functions (???)
    • Mata functions (???)
Working...
