I use Mendeley and I'm trying to create a customized CSL style for my citations for research papers. "et al." must be italicized. I know it is possible, because I searched and had find a post here about it - Is it possible to italicize "et al.". However, I can't put it to work adjusting APA 7th edition custom citation style, that is the style I need to customize.
I think I have to change the code around line 388. I even understood that I have to use editor.citationstyles.org because csl.mendeley.com has a bug and is not working, but I don't get any results changing the code to:
<names variable="author">
<name and="symbol" delimiter=", " initialize-with=". "/>
<substitute>
<text macro="title-intext"/>
</substitute>
<name and="text"/>
<et-al font-style="italic"/>
</names>
I opted to maintain part of the existing code for the block names variable="author" because I don't know what it makes.
Can you help?
