Valid header and footer HTML tags
You can use a some HTML tags to insert hyperlinks or define formatting in texts to display in headers and footers (annotations). When possible, it is preferable to control the formatting of the headers and footers using the export style sheets rather than HTML tags in the header and footer specifications. However, the HTML tags are useful when you want to emphasize individual words or phrases.

<img/>

<br/>

Well‑formed HTML
The HTML tags used must be well-formed HTML. For example:
▪Close all tags. For example, specify the line break tag as <br/> and not <br>. Similarly, you must close the <img> tag, for example:
<img src='C:\CorporateImages\logo.png' alt='SPSS logo'/>
▪Use the same case for opening and closing tags.
▪Enclose attributes in double or single quotation marks (for example, <font size='7'>). When using double quotation marks in your script, escape them with a second double quotation mark (for example, <font size=""7"">).
