First time all authors, then et al.

trashcan

Hi

I need to be able to display all authors the first time it appears in my 200+ page document but subsequently use et al.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Yes. APA style lists up to five authors on first citation, then use et al. for 3+ on subsequent cites, so if that's sufficient, just use that.
If you want to implement this yourself, the code would be along the lines of
et-al-min="99" et-al-use-first="1" et-al-subsequent-min="3" et-al-subsequent-use-first="1"
where 99 can be any large number.

Oh great, I need it to be on Harvard. I haven't used style sheets before, but will look into it.

Thank you.
