I would like to create a plugboard that:

- Uses only the author's surname.

- Abbreviates certain series titles (ie. Lord of the Rings = LOTR)

- If the title of a book begins with "The," it is omitted (ie. The Hunger Games = Hunger Games)


how do I do that (any of it)?



edit: also, is there a possible way to return the series_index for books to correlate with the current highest value in Calibre held by the the index for that series? (ie. where Harry Potter only has 7 books, series_index is one digit, while Star Trek: New Frontier has 17 series books so its index has 2 digits) ... I suppose this would maybe be contingent on whether I had a book in a series that required multiple digits before it would change the number of leading zeroes for the other books.

This is to say, that I would like to insert the series index into my titles via a plugboard, but I want to conserve as much screen real estate as possible for the actual title, so if I didn't need leading zeroes, it wouldn't insert them.
