When collaborating on information tasks, sharing your work successfully is essential. Whereas sending over commented code may suffice in some instances, there are occasions when this simply isn’t sufficient.

I will likely be trustworthy right here and say that I don’t take pleasure in working with Stata. I discover it extremely counterintuitive from a programming perspective due to its syntax. However my essential downside with it’s that it isn’t clear one of the best ways to share your work if it isn’t by sharing the info and the do file, so the opposite particular person can run it by themselves.

If each of you’re working with the code, that’s positive. Nonetheless, many instances, the opposite particular person simply needs to see the outcomes and perceive the way you achieved them. Operating the code themselves will be time-consuming at finest and a logistical problem at worst.

Regardless of this, I nonetheless have to work with this Stata, as it’s broadly utilized in financial analysis.

However now I’ve found the finest manner to resolve this downside. And it’s through the use of the webdoc command.

After going by way of this text it is possible for you to to show your code, for instance, this:
