BaseStyle
is an option for formatting and related constructs that specifies the base style to use for them.
Details

- An option setting BaseStyle->spec in a construct obj specifies that the construct should always automatically be displayed as Style[obj,spec].
- Any style specification as used in Style can be used as a setting for BaseStyle.
- Typical forms of settings include:
-
"style" a named style from the current stylesheets {opt1->val1,…} a list of explicit option settings {"style",opt1->val1,…} a named style modified by option settings - Color directives such as Red, as well as text specifications such as Bold or Small, can be given in place of options, just as in Style.
- Any outside styles not explicitly overridden by settings in BaseStyle will still be used.
- BaseStyle is effectively applied after DefaultBaseStyle.
- Style specifications given in BaseStyle are typically added to default specifications given in the current stylesheet.
- For an object of type obj, the default style specifications are typically those associated with a style named "obj".
