Thanks Christiaan!
I've tried to do it but there's one thing I didn't figure out.
Here is what I used for book (basically from your suggestion on the other
thread):
<$pubType=book?>
<$authors.normalizedName.@firstObject/><$authors.@count=0?><$authors.@count
=1?><?$authors.@count=2?> and <$authors.name.@secondObject
/><?$authors.@count=3?>, <$authors.name.@secondObject/>, and
<$authors.name.@thirdObject/><?$authors.@count?>,
<$authors.name.@secondObject/>, <$authors.name.@thirdObject/>, et
al.</$authors.@count?>
<$fields.Year/> <$fields.Title.stringByDeTeXifyingString/>.
<$fields.Address/>: <$fields.Publisher/>.
It works as it should for two-author / three-author entries but for entries
with one single author it gives me now:
Lastname, Firstname, , , et al.
What am I doing wrong?
And: where should I logically place the same stuff for editors?
Thanks so much for your help!
