exported html works locally but not when send via email

[csetzkorn]

I export the HTML 5 results from SAS EG to my desktop. I end up with one HTML file. When I open it on my local machine it shows figures images nicely in a browser. However, when I send it via email and open the attachment the images are not shown. Is there anything I can do to embed the images in one html file similar to a Jupyter notebook? Thanks!

A html page with pictures is actually a file.htm and a directory that contains the pictures.

What have you sent by email? and how have you done it?

Post your code in order that the forum can help you.

Actually I just found the folder with the images looking at one of the HTML img tags:

<div class="c">
<img alt="The SGPlot Procedure" src="HTML%20-%20PA2BubblePlots1_files/img0.png" style=" height: 480px; width: 640px;" border="0" class="c">
</div>

Sorry! Is it possible to embed them like in a Jupyter notebook?

I'm not familiar with Jupyter notebook.

Alternatively you can zip the directory containing the html + image files.

The receiver should unzip it.

Sure - just not very userfriendly

PDF or RTF is user-friendly, would that meet your needs?

Sorry but that's the requirement. I will use saspy in a Jupyter Notebook ...

That's how HTML handles non-textual data. Images, videos, audio etc. are served as separate files.

Sure but Jupyter notebook embeds images somehow, which is more user friendly ...

That's because it uses an additional layer in its backend that works like a content management system. When you use ODS HTML, you work on the level of HTML, not on the level of a CMS.

And keep in mind that you're a SAS programmer, not just a SAS user. This means that there are things you need to take care of, while also opening up a lot of flexibility. Proper definition of the path options will lead to output that is contained in a single directory tree and can be handled (for copying etc) in one fell swoop.

Maybe it's because I'm old, but I happily trade a lot of "comfort" for having direct control over the working of things.

[csetzkorn]

Totally agree ...

Or at least knowing when I am letting the system defaults take over and what they are.
