Sample 36907: Convert an existing CSS file to a comparable PROC TEMPLATE style definition
Styles used to format output generated with ODS use either template definitions created with PROC TEMPLATE or cascading style sheet (CSS) files. The TEMPLATE procedure compiles the code into a binary item store which can be used with any of the ODS destinations that allow formatting. Prior to SAS® 9.2, CSS files could only be used with Markup language files such as HTML.
The TEMPLATE procedure introduced the new IMPORT statement in SAS 9.2, which allows you to take an existing CSS file and read this file into a template definition. This new functionality allows you to now create a template definition from a CSS file. The style sheet properties of the CSS files will need to match the naming convention of what we expect.
