In my XSLT, I need to configure formatting for so-called "et al."
handling in citations; e.g. (Smith et al. 1999). Sometimes this gets
quite complicated, such that I've settled on this sort of config
markup:
<multi-name-replace>
<rule when-more-than="2" and-less-than="6" and-position="subsequent"
use-first="1"/>
<rule when-more-than="6" and-position="first" use-first="1"/>
<renderas font-style="italic">et al.</renderas>
</multi-name-replace>
Now my question is, how would I actually implement this in the XSLT? I
can't rely on the and-less-than attribute to present, nor even the
entire multi-name element.
Or is there a better way to make the markup suitable for transformation
(it's my schema, so I can make it whatever I want!)?
