title: Markdown in other statistics packages than R
body: <p>I'm a great fan of <code>R markdown</code>, finding it even easier than weaving LaTeX for quick project documentation (less than 15 pages). However, I also have to support sometimes other Statistics packages (<code>SPSS</code>, <code>Stata</code> + <code>SAS</code>) and was wondering for equivalent solutions for these.</p>
  
  <p>To some extend this might go back to using some kind of original <code>Noweb</code> code + markdown file to be compiled over the command line. I guess calling the other packages from R is another option.</p>
  
  <p>I have had a look at this example by John Muschelli: <a href="http://rpubs.com/muschellij2/3888" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://rpubs.com/muschellij2/3888</a> and it looks as though he knitted Stata code into an R markdown file.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone provide specific examples of how this can be done in Stata, SAS or SPSS?</p>
  
  <p><em>I do know of <code>SASweave</code> and <code>StatWeave</code> (the latter is apparently broken???), but think that a markdown solution would be far more advantageous in our case.</em></p>
