Getting Rid of ibid from Society of Biblical Literature Style

If you are looking to get rid of ibid from the SBL style, I followed the directions given in another location by adamsmith. It worked, and I wanted to make it easy for others to replicate.

Open the style in text wrangler (or something similar),

Replace [starting at line 747]

<if position="ibid-with-locator">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text term="ibid"/>
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</group>
</if>
<else-if position="ibid">
<text term="ibid"/>
</else-if>
<else-if position="subsequent">

with

<if position="subsequent"> [new line 747]

and then replace: [starting at what is now line 754]

</else-if>

with

</if>
