Inline formatting using ods escapechar

[haydn89]

Hi all,

Looking for some help.

I am trying to use the inline formatting operator escapechar to change the font size of a footnote in my table. I can’t get it to work properly.

Other style attributes work, such as font_weight, but font_size does not. I should note that I am trying to output this table to an xml file using ods tagsets.excelxp.

I am running SAS using solaris on 9.1.3 service pack 4. I am using a custom style to render my table but I tested the inline formatting without the custom style and it still didn’t work.

I try and reformat the size using the inline formatting operator 3 times:

1.      'r1'="Rate of return ^S={font_weight=bold font_size=3pt}a"

2.      2012="2011^{unicode '2013'}12^S={font_weight=bold font_size=8pt font_face='calibri'}p^S={}"

         2013="2012^{unicode '2013'}13^S={font_weight=bold font_size=8pt font_face='calibri'}y^S={}"

3.      title1 "Appendix table ^S={font_size=6pt}d";

I’ve attached the SAS code (cara.sas), log (cara.log) and the code for my custom style as well (chp2_1.sas). I've also attached the data set output that I am working with (aus.sas7bdat and sta.sas7bdat).

If anyone has an idea your guidance would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Haydn

Hi:

  You might want to check with Tech Support. I no longer have 9.1 or 9.2 or 9.3 to test with, but I thought that the UNICODE capability of ODS ESCAPECHAR was not production until SAS 9.2 -- so that might be one reason why some of your code does not work.

Hi,

Following to Cynthia's text,

try this. I used height instead of weight option.

footnote j=LEFT font=arial color=white bc=cx5976A1 height=15pt "^{nbspace 3} &runDate ^{newline 2}";
