{p 8 17 2}{cmd:examples8} {it:topicname} 

{p 8 17 2}{cmd:wexamples} {it:topicname}

{p 8 17 2}{cmd:wexamples} {it:function()} 


{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:examples8} looks for help on {it:topicname} and displays any
Examples sections found in the Results window. Alternatively, {cmd:examples8}
looks for help on {it:function()} (note the parentheses) and displays a
definition in the Results window. It is especially designed to show quick and
easy reminders of the syntax of a given command. 

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:wexamples} is identical except that output appears in 
the Viewer. 


{title:Remarks}

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:examples8} is a renaming of the original version of 
{cmd:examples}, which is otherwise unchanged. {cmd:examples8} should work 
in Stata 8 or 9. As from July 2007, {cmd:examples} downloaded from SSC 
should work in Stata 10 upwards, modulo unforeseeable changes in syntax. 

{p 4 4 2}Given a {it:topicname}, {cmd:examples8} looks for sections starting
with titles specified in SMCL containing the word {cmd:Examples} (or
alternatively {cmd:Example}) within any help file corresponding to
{it:topicname}. It will not be able to show material from older, pre-SMCL help
files or examples given otherwise.

towards a bug. Roger Harbord identified a bug and fixed it. Dick Campbell 
pointed out that {cmd:examples} (as was) was broken by Stata 10.
