I'd like to indent some words when generate html files. For instance, there is column aecat as below shows:
data abc;
set a;
if aedecod ='' then aecat=aesoc;
else aecat="(*ESC*){unicode 007C}"||strip(aedecod);
run;
ods html file='xxxx/a.html';
proc report data=abc nowd;
column aecat;
define aecat/display;
run;
ods html close;
However, the unicode doesn't work. Could anybody help me? Thank you.
Try this:
data abc;
set a;
if aedecod = ''
then aecat = aesoc;
else aecat = " " || strip(aedecod);
run;
ods html file='xxxx/a.html';
proc report data=abc nowd;
column aecat;
define aecat/display style(column)={asis=on};
run;
ods html close;
Idea taken from https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/Preserve-Leading-Blanks-in-ODS-Output/td-p/193..., which is the first hit of a google search (Maxim 6) for "leading blanks in proc report".
Hi:
This previous posting showed one technique for RTF and PDF:

The only difference is that for HTML, you need to use INDENT= instead of LEFTMARGIN=, as shown below:

Hi KurtBremser, thank you for your advice. Yes, it can indent by this way. However, the outcome appearance is not good: there are unnecessary frame for the indent words.(already highlighted as yellow)
