Restriction:The PRETEXT= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations, printer family destinations, and the RTF destination.
PROTECTSPECIALCHARS=ON | OFF | AUTO
specifies how less-than signs (<), greater-than signs (>), and ampersands (&) are interpreted in cells. In HTML and other markup languages, these characters indicate the beginning of a markup tag, the end of a markup tag, and the beginning of the name of a file or character entity.
ON
interprets special characters as the characters themselves. That is, when ON is in effect the characters are protected before they are passed to the HTML or other markup language destination so that the characters are not interpreted as part of the markup language. Using ON enables you to show markup language tags in the HTML document.
OFF
interprets special characters as markup language tags. That is, when OFF is in effect, the characters are passed to the HTML or other markup language destination without any protection so that the special characters are interpreted as part of the markup language.
AUTO
interprets any string that starts with a < and ends with a > as a markup language tag (ignoring spaces that immediately precede the <, spaces that immediately follow the >, and spaces at the beginning and end of the string). In any other string, AUTO protects the special characters from their markup language meaning.
Restriction:The PROTECTSPECIALCHARS= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations, printer family destinations, and the RTF destination.
RULES=rule-type

Restriction:The TAGATTR= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations.
TEXTALIGN=alignment
specifies justification in tables, cells, and graphs. In graphs, this option specifies the justification of the image specified with the IMAGE= statement. For example, this statement would produce a page number that is centered at the bottom of the page: style PageNo from TitleAndFooters / textalign=c verticalalign=b; This statement would produce a date in the body file that is left-justified at the top of the page: style BodyDate from Date / textalign=l;alignment can be one of the following:

Alias:R
Restriction:Not all contexts support RIGHT. If RIGHT is not supported, it is interpreted as CENTER.
Alias:JUST=
Restriction:The TEXTALIGN= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations, printer family destinations, and the RTF destination.
Tips:For the printer family destinations and the MARKUP destination, use the style attribute TEXTALIGN= with the style attribute VERTICALALIGN= in the style element PAGENO to control the placement of page numbers.

For printer family destinations and the MARKUP destination, control the placement of dates by using the style attribute TEXTALIGN= with the style attribute VERTICALALIGN= in the BODYDATE or DATE. style element.

TEXTDECORATION=presentation–options
changes the visual presentation of the text. presentation–options can be one of the following:
BLINK
specifies that the text's visual presentation alternates rapidly between visible and invisible.
Restriction:TEXTDECORATION=BLINK is valid only in the HTML and RTF destinations.

specifies that a line is drawn through the text.
Restriction:TEXTDECORATION=LINE_THROUGH is valid only in the HTML destination, the printer family, the measured RTF destination, and the RTF destination.
OVERLINE
specifies that a line is drawn above the text.
Restriction:TEXTDECORATION=OVERLINE is valid only in the HTML destination and the printer family destinations.
UNDERLINE
specifies that a line is drawn below the text.
Restriction:TEXTDECORATION=UNDERLINE is valid only in the HTML destination, the printer family destinations, the measured RTF destination, and the RTF destination.
Tip:TEXTDECORATION= can be used with inline formatting and the ODS PDF statement to enhance PDF files.
TEXTINDENT=n
specifies the number of spaces that the first line of output will be indented.
n
specifies the number of spaces to indent the output.
Alias:INDENT=
Default:The default value for XML is 2. For all other ODS destinations, the default value is 0.

TICKDISPLAY= "INSIDE" | "OUTSIDE" | "ACROSS"
specifies the placement of all major and minor axis tick marks.
TEXTJUSTIFY= INTER_WORD | INTER_CHARACTER
specifies how to evenly distribute text.
INTER_WORD
specifies that the words will be evenly distributed across the page.
INTER_CHARACTER
specifies that all characters will be evenly distributed across a page.
Tip:Use the TEXTJUSTIFY= style attribute with the TEXTALIGN=J (alias JUST=) style attribute.
TRANSPARENCY=dimension
specifies a transparency level for graphs. The values are 0.0 (opaque) to 1.0 (transparent).
Restriction:The TRANSPARENCY= attribute is valid only in the HTML destination.
URL="uniform-resource-locator"
specifies a URL to link to from the current cell.
Restriction:The URL= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations, printer family destinations, and the RTF destination.
Requirement:uniform-resource-locator must be enclosed in quotation marks.
VERTICALALIGN= BOTTOM | MIDDLE | TOP
specifies vertical justification for graphs and cells. In graphs, this option specifies the vertical justification of the image specified with IMAGE=. For example, this statement produces a page number that is centered at the bottom of the page: style PageNo from TitleAndFooters / textalign=c verticalalign=b; This statement produces a date in the body file that is left-justified at the top of the page: style BodyDate from Date / textalign=l verticalalign=t;
BOTTOM
specifies bottom justification.
Alias:B
MIDDLE
specifies center justification.
Alias:M
TOP
specifies top justification.
Alias:T
Alias:VJUST=
Restriction:The VERTICALALIGN= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations, printer family destinations, and the RTF destination.
Tips:For printer and markup family destinations, use the style attribute VERTICALALIGN= with the style attribute TEXTALIGN= in the style element PAGENO to control the placement of page numbers.

For printer and markup family destinations, control the placement of dates by using the style attribute VERTICALALIGN= with the style attribute TEXTALIGN= in the BODYDATE or DATE style element.

VISITEDLINKCOLOR= color
specifies the color for links that have been visited in an HTML document.
Restriction:The VISITEDLINKCOLOR= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations.
WATERMARK= ON | OFF
specifies whether to make the image that is specified by BACKGROUNDIMAGE= into a watermark. A watermark appears in a fixed position as the window is scrolled.

OFF
specifies not to make the image that is specified by BACKGROUNDIMAGE= into a watermark.
Restriction:The WATERMARK= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations.
WHITESPACE=options
specifies how the browser handles multiple white space characters and line breaks. options can be one of the following:
NORMAL specifies that white spaces are compressed and text wraps normally.
NOWRAP specifies that white spaces are compressed and that text does not have line breaks.
PRE specifies that white spaces are left intact and that text does not have line breaks.
PRE_LINE specifies that white spaces are compressed, keeps line breaks that are in the text, and adds line breaks as needed.
PRE_WRAP specifies that white spaces are left intact and allows line breaking.
Default:NORMAL
WIDTH= dimension
specifies the width of a cell, table, line, or a graph.
When used with graphs, the WIDTH= option must be specified as a pixel or percentage value. If a unit of measure is not specified with the dimension, then the value will be in pixels. If a unit of measure other than pixels or percentage is specified with the dimension, then the HEIGHT=dimension is not applied to the graph.
dimension
is a nonnegative number.
Aliases:CELLWIDTH=

OUTPUTWIDTH=

Restrictions:The WIDTH= option does not apply to output generated as a result of GRSEG (graph segment) output.

The WIDTH= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations, printer family destinations, and the RTF destination.

Interaction:The XPIXELS= option in the SAS/GRAPH GOPTIONS statement overrides the WIDTH= attribute.
Tips:A column of cells will have the width of the widest cell in the column.

Use WIDTH=100% to make the table or graph as wide as the window that it is open in.
