Installation
MarkDoc package can ONLY be installed from Github and is not hosted on SSC any longer. The Stata github
package can be used to install MarkDoc or any other Stata package hosted on Github. If you don't have the github
command installed, type:
net install github, from("https://haghish.github.io/github/")
Next, to install MarkDoc along with its dependencies from GitHub, type:
github install haghish/markdoc
The command above installs MarkDoc and its dependencies (other Stata packages), which are Weaver, Statax, and md2smcl (see the dependency.do
file in the Github repository which is executed after installing MarkDoc).
MarkDoc requires 2 third-party software which are Pandoc and wkhtmltopdf. These software can be installed automatically by using the install
option. However, the users can also download and install these software manually and define the paths to executable software in MarkDoc.
The users can also permanently define the paths to these software using the weave setup
command which memorizes the paths to the executable Pandoc and wkhtmltopdf permanently, even if MarkDoc package gets updated. The path information is stored in an ado file named weaversetup.ado, which can be found in /PLUS/w/weaversetup.ado
