graph combine to work with meta forest without having to move everything to the user-written metan suite.

[Todd Jones]

#344 yes, good point.

Something I keep finding as a problem with other colleagues.
Would it be possible to allow Stata to "read" ster files automatically?
I know one could just "est use" it. But interestingly enough, many people do not know how to.
If one could double click it so it runs a simple "ereturn display" would be very useful, and perhaps not hard to implement

It would be great to have the possibility to show row percentages in dtable instead of column percentages.

[Luis Pecht]

on #349, Andrew Musau teached how to show row percentages,

sysuse auto, clear
collect clear
table (foreign), nformat(%3.2f ) stat(percent) stat( mean weight) nototals name(c1)
table (rep78), nformat(%3.2f ) stat(percent) stat( mean weight) nototals name(c2)
collect combine all= c1 c2
collect levelsof across
collect layout (`s(levels)') (var#result)

. collect layout (`s(levels)') (var#result)
(dimension _hide not found)

   Table 1: 9 x 2

plus Bjarte Aagnes, alternative:

   
collect : table (foreign), nformat(%3.2f ) stat(percent) stat( mean weight) nototals
collect : table (rep78), nformat(%3.2f ) stat(percent) stat( mean weight) nototals append
collect layout (foreign rep78)(result)

   Table 1: 9 x 2

'Highlight Occurrences' or 'Word Highlighting' would be nice. Like in VS Code, which has it per default: when i select a word (e.g. a macro name or whatever) all occurences of the same word are also highlighted in the same code file in the editor, which is incredible usefull while editing code.
Example:

Re #350: It is true that this can be done in the ways shown. But the -collect- command is very complicated and learning to use it effectively requires a great deal of investment of time and effort. -dtable- is a convenience command that is intended to produce a commonly needed table with a single command. It would be even more convenient if it had an option to show row percentages.
