temporarily make et al italic

malpers1

Some users of the style file Acta Universitatis Agriculturae Sueciae want to change their style temporarily so et al is italic (not the style's default). I have tried to add code ( ) according to instructions on https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html#et-al but my code fail to make et al italic. I have not made any other changes. Can you please help me what to do?

Replace the author-short macro with this (the location of the et-al line is very important):
<macro name="author-short">
<names variable="author">
<name form="short" and="symbol" initialize-with=". "/>
<et-al font-style="italic"/>
<substitute>
<names variable="editor"/>
<text variable="title" font-style="italic"/>
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>

Thank you!
(I totally failed adding the code in my comment, sorry about that)

You'd need to write it like this: <code>asdf</code>
