Upgrade Storage"Et Al"-Text / Symbol for "author 1 AND author2"
hi guys, first of all thx for your great tool.
I think, if once adapted to the citation style of our university this will work really great. However adjusting to our standards is a tedious bit of (programming) work, regarding the (sorry but) poor documentation - also the link to the XBib Repository http://xbiblio.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbiblio/csl/schema/branches/csl.rnc?view=markup doesnt work!
However, I wont give up too early (have successfully made some adjustments already) and have some questions:
1.) where can I set the values of the text which appears, if there are f.e. 5 authors at one book? I want the "et al" to appear but "u.a." (german abbreviation) gets into scene.
2.) It's the same with the AND="symbol" item - the & - Sign appears (if there are more authors), but I want a slash instead - I can't find values like that neither in the database nor in the GUI itself.
3.) Is there any (standard) method available, where I can cite all the authors at the first appearance like (author1 / author2 / author3, 2008) and then at the second usage (author1 et al, 2008)?
4.) do you have recommendations on how to realize the following scenario: I have ONE book with articles of like EIGHT different authors in it, each covering a related topic. We then have to cite
author 1(year): "article title" in: overall author (year): "general book title". "edition". "publisher"
Is there a standard method for the "in: " ?
Thanks a lot !!!!!
Greetings

You might want to pose your CSL questions to the XBib dev list.
the XBib dev list is a great help.
Also the thing with the et al works (although the about:config in firefox is a "rude" workaround ;))
Still I would very much appreciate a tutorial / documentation for creating the XML files and the location of different settings. It seems that some things simply are "hardcoded" which is not optimal - basically in my eyes everything should be adoptable (in the XML-Files).
Thanks for your help - I got the citation style working well for our university - I'll try to spread the word about it and make more ppl use it.
