Description

@steveharoz

In inst/CITATION, the text version of the citation truncates the author list with "et al.".

How about including the full list of authors? It's standard in some formats to truncate author lists above 6. But more and more allow for large author lists. And it's simple to manually replace the authors with "et al." if someone wants to.
