BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Citation with italic "et al."

[ntumre]

I used natbib package and use \citep{Obama2011} to obtain (Obama et al. 2011). Is it possible to change the et al. to italic, i.e., (Obama et al. 2011). Thank you.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[round,authoryear]{natbib}

You could make a custom style with makebst.tex -- there are options there for the font of the `et al.'
