I copied my template.xhtml file to my
%UserID%/AppData/Roaming/caliber/resources/catalog directory. I then edited the template.xhtml file to show:

<td class="date">{written}</td> instead of <td class="date">{pubyear}</td>.

I ran Calibre and created a catalog and it is still showing the year published instead of the contents of the "written" field. I know nothing of .xhtml and was just trying a simple substitution. I did try {#written} as well (remembering to close and reopen caliber) but with no effect.

Am I changing the right portion of the template? Should I be changing something else? FWIW, my "written" field is a text field so that I can enter dates like "1308-1321" for "The Divine Comedy" or "1962, 1964" for an omnibus edition of two novels.

Thank you again for your assistance.
