Are you talking about the comment? What sort of template are you using in the plugin? Unless you are using a "jacket" style template, the plugin actually creates its own plugboard for the template to generate the comment. If you copied this to the metadata plugboard, then it should be producing exactly the same thing.
The jacket template is different, but, you should be able to produce the same result.
The plugboard I use is:
Code:
{comments}{:'raw_field("tags")'|<p><b>Tags:</b> |</p>}{rating:rating_as_stars()|<p><b>Rating:</b> |</p>}{#kobo_last_read:|<p><b>Last Read:</b> |</p>}{:'test(field('#words'),'<p>',test(field('#pages'),'<p>',''))'}{#words:|<b>Word count:</b> |}{:'test(field('#words'),test(field('#pages'),' ',''),'')'}{#pages:|<b>Page count:</b> |}{:'test(field('#words'),'</p>',test(field('#pages'),'</p>',''))'}
That puts the comment, followed by the tags, rating, last read and the word and page counts. I was thinking I had a horizontal ruled after the comments, but, I must have removed it at some time.
And for the record, the plugboard is used by calibre when sending the books to the device, and can be used by the driver to update the metadata later. Using these mean you don't need to worry about using the plugin to update the metadata.
