FW 3.13.1

That image was produced using the "jacket" style template. That was the only choice with the initial beta of this. The disadvantage of this style was that it is harder to not show anything with no values. This will still work with the latest version, but you need to prefix the template with "jacket:".

With the "plugboard" style template, there doesn't seem to be a way to display the stars directly. I had to write a template function to do it. My template is:

{comments}{tags:|<p>Tags: |</p>}{rating:rating_as_stars()|<p>Rating: |</p>}{#kobo_last_read:|<p>Last Read: |</p>}{#words:|<p>Word count: |</p>}

The "rating_as_stars()" is defined in the "Template Functions" screen of calibre. On this, you define:

Function: rating_as_stars
Arg count: 1
Documentation: rating_as_stars(x) -- returns x number of stars.
And the code:

def evaluate(self, formatter, kwargs, mi, locals, r):
	try:
		x = int(r) * '★'
	except:
		x = ''
	return x

And alternative version of this is:

Documentation: rating_as_stars(r) -- returns r number of filled stars followed by 5-r empty stars.
And the code:

def evaluate(self, formatter, kwargs, mi, locals, r):
	if r:
		try:
			i = int(r)			
		except:
			i = 0
		x = i * unichr(9733) + (5-i) * unichr(9734)
	else:
		x = ''
	return x

I haven't been able to decide which of these I like better.
