Abstract: -smcl2do- converts smcl log files to do-files in a more robust fashion than log2do by exploiting smcl tags. By default, it strips all commands which resulted in errors or were interrupted. It can also strip out all commands which open windows, but do not do anything else (such as {help help} or {help edit}). It can also keep all commands if you wish. Included in the package is -splitlog-, which is made for custom postprocessing of log files. By default, -splitlog- separates commands, their associated results, and orphaned results arising from commands not in the log file by placing special comments around each. It is possible to use -splitlog- to make files of commands, output, or a mixture of the two. The style of the text surrounding the commands, results, and orphans can be customized in case they are needed for other markup languages.
