Upgrade StorageModifying et al
For the Harvard system I need to use the et al is done like this: (Lee, et al., 2009). The closest I have got with the style is (Lee , et al., 2009) How do I get rid of that space after the name?
The changes I made to get that far:
In the citation tags --> added a comma to the delimiter
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="author-short"/>
<text macro="year-date"/>
</group>
and terms --> added comma and full stop to string.
<terms>
<locale xml:lang="en">
<term name="et-al">, et al.</term>
</locale>
</terms>
That space needs to go, how do I do it?

What happens if you take out the term definition of et al include into the names option of the author-short macro
delimiter-precedes-last="always"
that should put the comma there. Otherwise the extra space that you see is what you have in delimiter=" ": Zotero treats the et al. just like another author.
That's interesting, I didn't know that it worked that way. Just for info, in the new processor & CSL 1.0 it will work slightly differently. delimiter-precedes-last will be applied only when an "and" join is requested, and an optional "et-al" element will be available in names for styling of the et al. string, and the comma can be added as a prefix on that element.
I think what you do with it in 1.0 makes perfect sense - as displayed by the fact that it would have been a lot more intuitive to Cozmo.
I don't have a good idea then.
I tried to modify the "et-al" term but failed. Can you help ?
