Yesterday I saw an excellent explanation on how to use subtitles in combination with Kobo e-readers. I knew it was possible, but somehow never implemented it. I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go.

Thereafter, I was figuring: how to add those subtitles actually INSIDE the e-books so they exist outside calibre too (without adding them to the<title>)? There is no defined tag <subtitle> or is there? In short: What might be a proper way to do it?

I have seen some constructs in the .opf files like:

Code:

<metadata>
<meta name="calibre:title_sort" content="Sherlock Holmes"/>
</metadata>

I can add something like:

Code:

<metadata>
<meta name="calibre:title_sub" content="The Complete Novels"/>
</metadata>

But makes this sense?
