I am planing to use ods tagsets.rtf to replace ods rtf in my work gradually. Just meet the problem at the very first day: how to output pretext without table frame using ods tagsets.rtf, just like ods rtf?

The test code:

option nodate nonumber;
title;
footnote;

ods tagsets.rtf file='test.rtf' style=threeline startpage=no;
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd 
  style(report)={pretext='Title'} style(report)={posttext='Footnote'};
run;
ods tagsets.rtf close;

ods rtf file='test2.rtf' style=threeline startpage=no;
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd 
  style(report)={pretext='Title'} style(report)={posttext='Footnote'};
run;
ods rtf close;

The option you want would be Options(tables_off='<one or more of the locations>') on the ODS TAGSETS.RTF statement.

 

Look in the documentation of TAGSETS.RTF for the locations. I think you may want 'usertext' in this case. Maybe. I am not sure which style element that PRETEXT goes into as the general ODS documentation gets hard to trace down all such. So it might be  something else like 'NoteBanner'

ods tagsets.rtf file='test.rtf' style=threeline startpage=no options(tables_off='usertext');

Note, when you  use custom style, such as your STYLE=THREELINES in your ODS destination you should be prepared to include the definition of that style as we have no way of telling what the impact of that style may be having on any appearance related questions.

As you can see, the output pretext of ods tagsets.rtf is located at a table, I don't want that, I want to remove the table frame of pretext, just like ods rtf does.
Thank you for any hints.

Thank you, that is really what I want. I also add vspace="no" option to compress extra empty lines. The definition of style THREELINE that I used is:

 

proc template;
  define style Styles.Threeline;
    parent = styles.rtf;
    style fonts /
      'docFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'FixedFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'FootFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'headingFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'headingEmphasisFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'BatchFixedFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'FixedHeadingFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'FixedStrongFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'FixedEmphasisFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'EmphasisFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'StrongFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'TitleFont2' = ("times new roman",10.5pt)
      'TitleFont' = ("times new roman",10.5pt);
    style header /
      asis = on
      textalign = center
      fontsize = 10.5pt
      fontfamily = "times new roman"
      backgroundcolor = white;
    style Body from Document /
      marginleft = 1.5cm
      marginright = 1.5cm
      margintop = 1.5cm
      marginbottom = 1.5cm;
    style table from table /
      cellpadding = 0.5pt
      borderspacing = 0pt
      rules = groups
      frame = hsides
      width = 100%;
  end;
run;

Thank you for reminding me.
