Well, I'm doing this for a class project - and I'm not a programmer - so I'm going to need all the help I can get, Chaley - and thanks for the offer.
I read the tutorial, and I'm still confused. (is the template language based on python?) We're not going to include a lot of the template stuff in our document, only how to rename books with series and series number in it, but I would like to explain how the rule was constructed.
at another thread (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...60#post1926660) someone else posted the following rule:
{series}{series_index:| - | - }{title}
That does the same thing that my rule does, only in a slightly different order, and makes perfect sense to me although I'm not sure what the pipes and dashes mean. But it's a much simpler rule than mine has all the different kinds of brackets and such.
Chaley, would you be willing to put it into English for me? Thanks so very much.
