I got around to trying the conditional regex stuff with the help of regex101.com, but it's giving me weird results.

Spoiler:

This is giving me outputs like this on the titlepage:

Published: 2021-05-23Published: | Updated: 2021-05-23Completed: | Chapters: 1/1Chapters: | Words: 2,781Words:

It seems to be adding in extra copies of the labels on the end, and I can't see where I messed up to cause that. It's also a total mystery to me how it's managing to kind of finish the "Updated" part despite all the other junk in the way.

Well, maybe it would be easy if I knew my way around the codebase/where things happened, or had looked at python code more recently than 5 years ago

I don't see how fitting it in would be hard, unless by "intuitively" you meant stuff like this sort of user expectation: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=3407

In any case though, I doubt my attempt will be especially neat or clean.
