Subject:      Re: A_QUESTION: ods html table

Only my relative small experience with html tells me, that this is a HTML-
"feature". It is a description language, what means, you tell it what you
want with some tags and the formatting (what you see in browser) is done
by the browser. I think, that additional blanks are ignored. You might try
it with that:

data test;
  x="test";
  blank="a0"x;
  y=x!!blank!!blank!!x;
  z=compress(y," ");
  put _all_;
run;

The SAS COMPRESS - function does not "see" that other blank. The "normal"
blank is hex 20. HTML?? Try it out!
