Is the raw functionality (^{raw ...}) supported by ods latex?

This paper suggest that the \raw functionality is supported by LaTex files.

https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings09/222-2009.pdf

However, when I try the following code:

ods latex file="&xxdemo./reporting/test.tex";

ods escapechar='^';
title 'Line 1'
      '^{raw \\} Line 2'
      "^{raw \break{}} Line 3";


proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

ods latex close;

I get the following line

\sassystemtitle[c]{Line 1\^\{raw {\textbackslash}{\textbackslash}\} Line 2\^\{raw {\textbackslash}break\{\}\} Line 3}

instead of

\sassystemtitle[c]{Line 1 \\ Line 2 \break{} Line 3}

It might help to describe what you are attempting.

The text "Line 2" makes me suspect that you are trying to insert line breaks in some form. I might try the ODS ESCAPECHAR function NEWLINE if that is the case.

I don't have any experience with LaTex and it may help others to describe is some detail what you expect.

It might also help to turn of ODS HTML prior to generating the output. I have seen a couple of unexpected results for specific ODS destinations when both HTML and another destination are open.

"Line 2" is just some random text. Line breaks in Latex are either created using \\ or \break{}. I just tried with both.
