%help magic not displaying html

Open dwasser opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

I am running into trouble with the %help magic within Atom. Specifically, I get the error "Failed to fetch HTML help. ". I upgraded the kernel, so that should not be the issue. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Probably either

  • network connectivity
  • the Stata HTML help page doesn't exist for the command you're looking for. Check if https://www.stata.com/help.cgi?<command> exists.

Thanks for the quick response! It is neither of those as, for example "help regress" works fine without the magic. Likely something on my end I guess.

Interesting. Well I haven't heard any other reports of this, and I don't have access to Stata anymore to debug.

I have exactly the same issue!
