Variables that were already right-aligned are omitted. {title:Examples} {pstd} Load some data in memory {cmd:.} {stata sysuse census} {pstd} There are two variables that are left-aligned {cmd:.} {stata rightalign} {title:Author} {pstd}Robert Picard{p_end} {pstd}picard@netbox.com{p_end} {title:Also see} {psee} SSC: {stata "ssc des listsome":listsome} list a sample of observations. {p_end} {psee} Help: {manhelp data_types D:data types}, {manhelp format D}, {manhelp list D} {p_end}
