Statax is a syntax highlighter for Stata. The program was developed for Weaver and MarkDoc packages in order to highlight the Stata code in dynamic documents and dynamic slides.
The JavaScript engine is hosted on my website and can be easily added to any webpage. See Statax Homepage for details. in brief, all you have to do to load the javaScript in your HTML document is adding the following code:
<script type="text/javascript" src='http://haghish.com/statax/Statax.js'></script>
And writing your Stata code in:
<pre class="sh_stata">
. Stata code
. Stata code
...
</pre>
The LaTeX syntax highlighter is even easier to implement. All you need to do is loading the Statax.tex in the header of your latex document, before you \begin{document} as shown below:
\input{Statax}
Once the Statax file is loaded in the header, You can call the statax environment to highlight the Stata syntax. For example:
\begin{statax}
// JavaScript Syntax Highlighter for Stata
quietly erase "`This' $Example"
noisily do `Something'
forvalues num = 5/13 {
count if vari`num' > 10 //this is a comment
scalar 5 = 2 * 10
generate x = runiform()
}
