Jan Ditzen

Abstract: htmltab2stata parses html code from websites. It detects tables enclosed with the html environment and transforms the table into a Stata dataset. To do so, htmltab2stata parses the html code and uses as row identifiers and code enclosed in as columns. It only transfers content which is not enclosed in to Stata, unless option href is used for links. Empty cells remain empty in the Stata dataset.
