A question came up in the
Stata forum
regarding cross-references in markstat documents.
If you are generating PDF via LaTeX, you can rely on LaTeX to handle numbering
and references. I have written a short example showing how this can be done.
Here are links to the script and resulting pdf file
A later question dealt with cross-referencing a table created with esttab.
Hat tip to Giovanni Colitti for providing a solution: just use the title()
option and include a LaTeX \label{id} when specifying the table title.
For more information see the
Stata forum post.
Unfortunately, these solutions work for LaTeX only. I have been looking for more general solutions that work with other output formats. So far the best I have found is Nicolai Yakimov’s pandoc-crossref filter, which you can find at https://github.com/lierdakil/pandoc-crossref. I am considering incorporating this filter in a future markstat update. Comments welcome.
