A series that has multiple words like A Song of Ice and Fire gets shortened down to its initials which is perfect, what is bothersome to me is when a series like "The Coincidence" gets stripped into Coincidence which again is okay, but its shortened form it becomes Coin-ence.
What would I need to change in order for it to show instead either "Coincidence" or "The Coincidence" for series that are either a single word or preceded by "The" or "A" etc. yet still retain the "initial" values for a longer series name such as A Song of Ice and Fire (ASoIaF) or Lord of the Rings (LotR)
[EDIT] Kinda figured it out, I changed the value: shorten(4,-,4) to shorten(12,-,6), but now I am wondering what is the allowable amount of characters on a title field on a Kindle PW1 and a Kobo Aura HD?
Thanks yet again in advance for any help with this.  |
It sounds like you just want {#stripped_series} without using shorten at all.
