4 SAS HTML output
SAS can produce output in several different formats. The traditional SAS output, "listing" output, is written as plain text. This means that "tables" depend on mono-spaced fonts and the width of the end user's screen to display properly. It also makes it more work to include graphics in your document.
However, the SAS Output Delivery System (ODS) makes it easy to produce HTML output. Using HTML output from SAS makes it easy to have tables that retain their structure despite variations in end user fonts and screen sizes. And HTML output makes it easy to include graphics in documents.
4.1 Set up
This is set up by using a different "language engine" in knitr.
The initial document setup using the SASmarkdown package is the same.
library(SASmarkdown)4.2 Using the 'sashtml' engine
Invoke the sashtml engine for code chunks. What you write is:
```{sashtml}
proc corr data=sashelp.class plots=matrix;
run;
```This produces:
proc corr data=sashelp.class plots=matrix;
run;| 3 Variables: | Age Height Weight |

The default SASmarkdown “style” for HTML and HTML5 output
is journal. To invoke a different SAS “style”, specify it with:
```{sashtml5 style_example, saveSAS=TRUE}
ods html5 style=htmlblue;
proc corr data=sashelp.class plots=matrix;
run;
