Output specifications are generated by the backend output factory and sent to the front end for rendering. The rendering interprets the output stream using custom code, which allows for editing with the pivot table engine, the graphics editors, the model viewers, etc, so it isn't constrained by a particular format such as html. Of course, the output can then be exported in html, pdf, and other formats. Plain text output can be just text or formatted via html directives.
I’m curious what language/protocol/code (not quite sure of the right word) is used to produce the default output (spv) file. Since becoming a sas student, I see that they have standardized on HTML, which might look good but apparently
doesn’t have the flexibility and usability that spss output has.
Thanks, Gene Maguin
