+"""
+Run a Stata do-script in the directory specified by **ctx.bldnode**. The
+first and only argument will be the name of the do-script (no extension),
+which can be accessed inside the do-script by the local macro `1'. Useful
+for keeping a log file.
+
+The tool uses the log file that is automatically kept by Stata only
+for error-catching purposes, it will be destroyed if the task finished
+without error. In case of an error in **some_script.do**, you can inspect
+it as **some_script.log** in the **ctx.bldnode** directory.
+
+Note that Stata will not return an error code if it exits abnormally --
+catching errors relies on parsing the log file mentioned before. Should
+the parser behave incorrectly please send an email to hmgaudecker [at] gmail.
+
+**WARNING**
+
+ The tool will not work if multiple do-scripts of the same name---but in
+ different directories---are run at the same time! Avoid this situation.
+
+Usage::

+ ctx(features='run_do_script',
+ source='some_script.do',
+ target=['some_table.tex', 'some_figure.eps'],
+ deps='some_data.csv')
