I would like to replace the colon with a semicolon and remove the question mark so that it comes out as this:

Mark Twain - Anthologies; How Many Are There

Is there a way to achieve that? This is all I've been able to work out so far.

Replace ? with nothing

{authors} - {title:re(\?,)}
--------------------------------------------------------
Replace ? and : with nothing

{authors} - {title:re(\?|\:,)}
--------------------------------------------------------
Replace : with ;

{authors} - {title:re(:,;)}

I'd also like to possibly add to it if I need to change other special characters to something other than an underscore.

Thanks for any help.

One way that is easy to extend in the future.

program:
	t = $title;
	t = re(t, '\?', '');
	t = re(t, ':', ';');
# Add any more changes that you want.

FWIW: I prefer GPM templates over the other template modes.
