Upgrade StorageHow do i make small changes (supress et al) in a dependent style?
Hi fellow stylistas,
I'm using the scandinavian-journal-of-pain style (pasted below), which depends on elsevier-vancouver.
The style is not entirely correct in that it uses 'et al' in the reference list (from author 7) and this is not acceptable to the journal.
I would have thought, that it was possible to add something like <citation et-al-min="2000" et-al-use-first="1"/> somewhere in the dependent csl file. But I am not having any luck.
Am I completely wrong or did I just place the <citation/> element in the wrong place?
Kind regards

Thanks for the support.
The point of dependent styles is specifically to provide copies of existing styles with different labels to make journal styles easy to find. I wouldn't underestimate the usefulness of that. How many people would recognize a style as "Elsevier Harvard," e.g...
