I don't remember half of them except well enough to know -- usually -- that "there should be something vaguely capable of doing x, let me look that up".

I downloaded the manual as epub and will have a closer look on the template section this weekend instead of reading a good fantasy book.

So at the end i am using:

program:

# return separator+authors if Multi Autor Serie (MAS) is not found, or return empty
various_authors=str_in_list(
	field('tags'),
	',',
	'MAS',
	'',
	 strcat(' - ', field('authors'))
);
end_template=template('{series_index:0>4s| | - }{title} - {authors}');

start_template=test(
	field('series'),
	strcat(
		'_ ',
		field('series'),
		various_authors
	),
	field('authors')
);

strcat(start_template, '/', end_template);

I only would love one little change also based on Tag "MAS" i use and regarding series_index.

When MAS is found in Tags i like to have 0>4s (those series go app to 2000 books), but not in the other series (mostly they end at 20 at the most). Also there are some series with series indices with sub values 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 etc and those series are never bigger than 20 books.

So if MAS in Tags is not found i would like to have a series index with 0>4.2f or 0>4.1f, if found 0>4

Possible or a better solution?
