Question on Subtitle display on Kobo

[Deobulakenyo]

I am using subtitle on Kobotouch plugin and using

this config in the subtitle:

program:

int_words = raw_field('#words');

# return wordcount in terms of million, e.g. 1m, 1.2m etc
if int_words ># 995000 then
int_words2 = divide(int_words,1000000);
str_words = strcat(format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.1f}'), '');
if '0' in str_words then
sf_words = format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.0f}')
else
sf_words = format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.1f}')
fi;
word_count = strcat(sf_words, 'm')
# wordcount in terms of thousands, e.g. 120k, 230k etc
elif int_words ># 10000 then
int_words2 = divide(int_words,10000);
sf_words = format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.0f}');
word_count = strcat(sf_words, '0k')
elif int_words ># 1 then
int_words2 = divide(int_words,1000);
sf_words = format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.0f}');
word_count = strcat(sf_words, 'k')
fi;

subtitle = strcat(field('#pages'), ' |', word_count, ' words')

How can i add the term/word "pages" after the number of pages in the highlighted part of the subtitle? (see attached image)

You add it in exactly the same way as the word "words" was added.

The last line of the template is concatenating strings together into a longer one. Changing this to the following should work:

subtitle = strcat(field('#pages'), ' pages', ' |', word_count, ' words')

You can combine the second and third parameters, but, the above is what I would usually do to keep each part of it separate and easy to change later. Though it probably has a small performance hit.

Thank you. I tried putting pages before I posted here but my punctuations were way off. Now it works fine and good with your examples.

Since we are on the topic of subtitle? is there a way to use the estimated reading hours that kobo added to the two recent fw updates to show instead of the number of words/ word count?

Not directly. If you have the driver calculating these values and sending it to the device, then you can reuse the code from those templates in this template.

Thank you for the explanation.
