You can use regular expressions in the template language. There was some discussion about achieving something similar to what you want some time ago, however, I don't know how it turned out. Searching the forum or looking in the documentation are your two best options. From having a quick look at the documentation, I think that using a pattern like
Code:
{series:re('[a-z ]','')} {title}
should probably do the trick if you only want the capital letters from the series name... I'd suggest building a custom composite column and testing till you get the template you like, then pasting that into the plugboard.
