Now in the book details section I can see both the comments (from the edit metadata screen) AND the other data stored in the new custom column 
The challenge now is getting my jacket template to work. For some reason, when I polish a book, there is some strange tag added:
Code:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">
I have to remove it manually to get the jacket to show properly. I hope someone knows how to avoid creation of this tag. |
I looked at this and am confused.
That tag is added to if you use a custom comments-type column with the display type set to "plain text", not "html". It isn't added to composite columns (column built from other columns).
However, composite columns have a different problem. All the HTML tags are escaped, causing them to render as text. (I will fix this.)
The question: are you really using a composite column in your jacket? If so, are you really seeing the "white-space" tag? As far as I can see from the calibre code, that isn't possible.
