Converting to fb2 - adding annotation.

[Saioko]

What code should I use to add <annotation> to fb2 file header?

I tried using this:

        annotationtext = u''
        annotationtext = self.oeb_book.metadata['description'][0].value

Plus some replacing, which gives me in "annotationtext" something like "<p>Blah-blah-blah</p>".

But when I try to add it to fb2 header with this:

                        <book-title>%(title)s</book-title>
                        <annotation>%(annotationtext)s</annotation>

I get an error message.

File "/home/katya/calibre/src/calibre/ebooks/fb2/fb2ml.py", line 56, in extract_content
return self.fb2mlize_spine()
File "/home/katya/calibre/src/calibre/ebooks/fb2/fb2ml.py", line 59, in fb2mlize_spine
output = [self.fb2_header()]
File "/home/katya/calibre/src/calibre/ebooks/fb2/fb2ml.py", line 253, in fb2_header
</description>\n''') % metadata
KeyError: u'annotationtext'

P.S. I know it is possible, because in past I had "Update metadata" option turned on during save-to-disk and those files had annotation. But they also messed up my author edits.

You are not using the official calibre binaries. Use those. And FB2 output is largely unmaintained. So if you want answers to questions, the only way is to read the source for yourself.

Thank you!
It took me only an hour to translate that you meant "Use metadata['annotationtext'] = u' instead of annotationtext = u'' "
