After thinking about this for a while, I think the best solution may be to simply use the string version of each metadata entry in
include_subject_tags and split by comma(,).
In some ways, this gives the user
more control because they can use
join_string_X to use a different separator than comma(,) to force an entry to be all one Tag, with a label even:
<dc:subject>Genre: Action; Drama<dc:subject>
This does cause a change in behavior from the existing code: Value "A, B" will be come tags "A" and "B" instead of "A; B" in Calibre's tags.
In practice, I first expected this to be rare. But searching my own library found tags "House; M.D." and several variations on "Title; The" which were ',' on the site. ~100 books in my library of ~6200. With the proposed change, these would end up as tags "The" and "Title".
All of my examples come from tthfanfic.org, but how many other sites do something similar?
This could be handled with a couple
replace_metadata lines. Or even a simple
category,genre=>,=>; but I hesitate a lot to add
add_to_replace_metadata lines to defaults.ini. And doing it in code would be worse.
So still thinking...
