p.s. I don't want to remove the colon from chapter_title_add_pattern: because then I have "Chapter 1 title of chapter" and I'd like some break between the chapter number and title. |
chapter_title_strip_pattern removes ':' if it's present, but it's
chapter_title_add_pattern that's putting it in the final product.
I didn't figure out until the PS that you're really talking about chapters with a ${title} value vs without after
chapter_title_strip_pattern is applied.
The easy route is to just change to something else, like '.' -- "Chapter 1." standing alone looks better, IMO.
But then I'm also perfectly happy with '1. Chapter 1'.
chapter_title_add_pattern is implemented using python's builtin string.Template mechanism. I don't believe it has any way to conditionally include or exclude parts without actually putting them in the pattern.
I can't think of any way without adding new code. I hesitate to do that because it's pretty niche. And would need to be configurable, you want ':', I'd use '.', somebody else would want ' - ', etc.
I'll consider it if more users speak up in favor.
