Change the attributes of the style element Byline. Specify that the style element Byline inherits its attributes from the TitlesandFooters style element. This STYLE statement adds to the child style the style element Byline, which also exists in the parent style. This style element inherits all attributes from TitlesandFooters as it is specified in the previous STYLE statement. Therefore, the initial template for the byline includes the font colors and background colors that are used for system titles, and a smaller version of TitleFont2. However, the COLOR= attribute overrides the font color with the headers" font color. In the default style, the background color for the byline differs from the background color for the document, so it appears as a gray stripe in HTML Output from PROC PRINT Using the Default Style. In this customized style, the stripe disappears because the background color for the byline and the document are the same.
