Sample 38100: Apply cascading style sheets to format ODS output
 |  |  |  |  |
SAS® 9.2 introduced the new CSSSTYLE= ODS option which allows you to apply a cascading style sheet as an argument to control the formatting. Prior to SAS 9.2, only the ODS HTML or Markup destinations had the ability to use cascading styles sheets, which can use an external CSS file when specifying the STYLESHEET= option along with the URL= sub-option. Destinations such as ODS RTF and ODS PDF had to rely on template definitions prior to SAS 9.2.
Please see the code in the Full Code tab for an example.
The ability to apply cascading style sheets to destinations other than the Markup destination is specific to ODS, as the formatting is handled internally. The industry does not support cascading styles sheets for formats such as RTF and PDF. The style properties in the cascading style sheet files have to conform to our regular naming convention.
