Details

The ODS DOCBOOK statement is part of the ODS markup family of statements. ODS statements in the markup family produce output that is formatted using one of many different markup languages such as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), XML (Extensible Markup Language), and LaTeX. SAS supplies many markup languages for you to use ranging from DOCBOOK to TROFF. You can specify a markup language that SAS supplies, or create one of your own and store it as a user-defined markup language.
