You've seen that you can use the STYLE= option to apply preset styles to your HTML output. However, you may want to further customize your results.

ODS provides ways for you to customize HTML output using definitions for tables, columns, headers, and so forth. These definitions describe how to render the HTML output or part of the HTML output. You can create style definitions using PROC TEMPLATE.

Two procedures, PROC REPORT and PROC TABULATE, provide a way for you to customize your HTML output from within the procedure itself. This enables you to specify background colors for certain cells, change the font face for column headers, and much more.
