Hey, BR, thanks for the recommendation. (I was offline for the holidays, and can end up missing a lot of stuff.)

@bittenfig, I thiink this should give you what you want.

title:
Just regex the title and replace ":.*" with nothing.

program:

strcat(
	'<b>',
	re(
		field('title'),
		':.*$',
		''
	)
)

subtitle:
Use the default template (converted to general program mode) but first check for title-contains-a-colon. If so we use the title and replace "^[^:]*:" with nothing, if not, we continue as we did before. (You can also replace the test block with a blank, or do whatever else you would've otherwise done if the title doesn't have a colon.)

program:

contains(
	field('title'),
	':',
	re(
		field('title'),
		'^[^:]*:',
		''
	),
	test(
		field('series'),
		strcat(
			'<i>',field('series'),'</i> - ',
			raw_field('formatted_series_index')
		),
		''
	)
)

What do you want done if the title has a subtitle and there is also a series?
