Title transformations

A common use of plugboards is transforming a book's title when it is part of a series. For example, consider 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson, book 1 of the Millenium series. By default, iBooks would list it as simply 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'.

To have the book listed in iTunes/iBooks as 'Millenium 1: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo':

* Open the Metadata plugboards dialog - Preferences|Import/Export|Metadata plugboards.
* Select any format, epub or pdf from the Format dropdown list, then APPLE from the Device dropdown list.
* In the Source template field, add this template:
Code:
{series}{series_index:| |: }{title}
This tells the templating engine "If there is a series_index for the book, prepend the series name, a space, the series_index, then a colon and a space before the book's title."
* Select title from the Destination field dropdown list.
* Click the Save plugboard button, then Apply (upper left corner of the dialog) to save and close.
* All books matching the specified formats sent to iTunes/iBooks will have this plugboard transform applied.
If there's something unclear about these directions, let me know where you're having problems.
