Hi,

I am trying to modify a style. There are two things that I cannot resolve:

- add a comma before "et al" in the bibliography section. I have tried

<terms>
<locale xml:lang="fr">
<term name="et-al">, et al</term>
</locale>
</terms>

but now a space is staying between first author's name and "et al", just like that:
Toto A , et al (2010)


- i need to italicize both parentheses and citation number in the text. I have tried
<citation>
<option name="collapse" value="citation-number"/>
<sort>
<key variable="citation-number"/>
</sort>
<layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter=", " font-style="italics">
<text variable="citation-number" font-style="italic"/>
</layout>
</citation>

but only the citation number is italicized, not the parentheses.


Thanks by advance
