SBL

The default schema according to SBL’s academic style guide.

Whereas a new Schema must have all required properties when constructed, this schema is meant to be used as a default so particular properties can be overidden (see example).

If the property is not set, the default value will be used. Each property is documented below with their default values.

Click into each property’s “Overrides” for more information about that property.
