I have been playing around with plugboard, and I have got most of the way to where I want to be, but, having zero experience with template language, I am a bit stuck on one small issue, which I was wondering if someone could help me with.

I have the following plugboard template:

{authors}{series_index:0>2s| - Book | of }{series}

which works beautifully, and gives me an output in the "authors" field on my paperwhite such as this:

J K Rowling - Book 07 of Harry Potter

I would like, if possible, the output to look like this:

J K Rowling - (Book 07 of "Harry Potter")

Using the following syntax:

{authors}{series_index:0>2s| - (Book | of }"{series}")

I can get the output I want if the book is part of a series, which is great. However, if the book is not part of a series (if the series field is empty), the output looks like this:

J K Rowling"")

rather than just

J K Rowling

Is, what I am trying to do possible, and if so, where am I going wrong with the syntax please? I have tried to use the calibre manual for clues as to what the problem is, but its all way over my head.

Thanks in advance
