Title

nlog -- Open output log in NoteTab Light

Syntax

nlog

Description

nlog opens the current output log in the text
editor NoteTab Light. The output log must be in text
format.

Remarks

The advantage compared to opening the log in the Viewer
is better editing facilities, e.g. deleting mistakes,
adding comments, and making selections before printing.

NoteTab Light can be installed for free from
http://www.notetab.com. You
may need to modify nlog.ado dependent on where the
NoteTab program is installed on your computer.

You may also want to modify nlog.ado if you prefer to use
another text editor. Find a comprehensive guide to text
editors at
http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/t/textEditors.html.

The intended use is described in more detail in
An Introduction to Stata for Health Researchers (Juul 2006, section 1.7).

The command newlog may be useful in closing the
current log and opening a new log; see help newlog.
