Delimiter preceding et al

First of all, I think this is a nitpick, but...

From the CSL specification, it does not appear that you can change the delimiter that precedes et al (et-al-use-first > 1). The particular journal I am working with (Journal of Molecular Endocrinology) does not place a comma before the et al, so I'm trying to match what they want. I'm not sure if this would work with other journals, but perhaps it would make sense to use the value from delimiter-precedes-last for et al delimiter as well?

    This already works with the current Zotero release, 1.0.1 is going to be released officially shortly.
  • Thanks Adam. I'll make a comment in the style, so it can be changed later. This would not validate now, would it?
  • no it wouldn't & we wouldn't accept it to the repository right now.
    A comment in the style is the way to go, thanks.
