It sounds like you are looking for a tag that would let you be more
concise about this. Something like:
{% for pa in pub.pubauthor_set.all %}
<a href="{{ pa.author.url }}">{{ pa.author }}</a>{% nth
forloop.revcounter "" "and" "," %}
{% endfor %}
Where the nth tag works like this: its first argument is an integer
(call it n). The rest of the arguments are choices. The nth one is
used, but the last one is used if the n is more than the number of
choices. It's a little funny to have to list them in the wrong order
like I did, but that's because I used revcounter for n.
The nth tag doesn't exist yet, but does it look like what you are asking
for?
