estout: minor issue with formatting of confidence intervals #29

Closed MarcGillaizeau closed 3 years ago

MarcGillaizeau commented 3 years ago

Dear Mr. Jann,

First of all thank you very much for the estout command, it is a godsend. I came across a small issue for formatting the confidence intervals. Basically, when custom number formats are specified, only the last one prevails. For instance, if I have 3 coefficients and type:

estout, cells(ci(fmt(1 1 2)))

All CIs will show 2 decimals.

I identified the issue in the ADO file, and fixed it as best I could. On row 1,513 the current code is:

local format: word `r' of `ci_fmt'

I changed it into:

local format: word `r' of ``vi'_fmt'

I think the fix is correct. At least it solved my issue and the CIs now show the desired number of decimals. But the code is a bit overwhelming so I hope it doesn't mess with the rest of the code.

Very best,

Marc

Thanks for reporting this and suggesting an appropriate fix. The latest update now works with correctly with multiple formats in cells(ci(fmt())). ben
