I would rather know ahead of time what it is going to look like if there was a way to make the column tell the plugboard which way to go - then have a second column show the final results. Then if I could change the tag, the column with the resulting plugboard will change - allowing me to see the results?

Ignoring your last post ...

It is perfectly possible to put a plugboard template into a custom text column then show that evaluated template in a composite (column-built-from-other) column, with perhaps a default if the template text column is empty. The actual plugboard would use the value in the composite column. This gives you total control over how any book appears on the kindle.

Edit: something like this. One advantage is that you can use the tag browser to select all books with the same template.


The template in the composite column is

program:
	if $#foobar3 then
		template($#foobar3)
	else
		template('{title}')
	fi
