Changing Et-al

Hi,

I am trying to change "et-al" to "and other". I have int appearing at the correct times but cant change the returned word et-all.
I have below:

<macro name="name-macro">
<names variable="author">
<name form="long" and="text" delimiter=", " initialize-with=""/>
<substitute>
<text variable="title"/>
</substitute>
<et-al term="and others" font-style="italic"/>

</names>
</macro>


Do I need extra code?

Thanks

** i see now this needs csl 1.0 and cant be done at the mo
  • no you don't need 1.0, but it works a little differently, in 0.8
