I blindly copied a plugboard rule I saw somewhere here to my copy of Calibre - it's supposed to put the series name and number after the title. The couple of times I've used it, it seems to work very well. But now I have to teach someone else how to use it, and I'd like to understand the parts of the rule, and what it is I'm typing.

So, can someone put the following into English? Thanks!

mobi:any device = ([{title} {series:|(| }{series_index:0>2s||)}] -> title)

(I have the same rule only for epub, for books I load on my Sony 350)
