Cover generation and part of the series name not showing

shadowThief · 10-18-2021, 01:34 PM

Hi,

I want to generate a cover for some free short stories to a series.
But the series name is long enough, that a part of it is not showing on the cover and "disappearing".
I can't seem to find anything that lets me break the series name into two lines. For the title itself, the generator is doing it automatically.

What do I have to do, that the title is showing in two lines including the number?

Thanks in advance

Example Cover:
The Series is actually "VRC: Vampire Related Crimes" and number 2.5

Sorry, I set everything back to default in the cover generator and compared the old and new templates.
Apparently I previously added a <br> in the title between series name and number. With the removed line break, the series name is displaying over two lines.

That must have worked in the past, because I have generated covers, where the number is in a different line than the series name.

But at least the series name is fully displaying now

Recent changes to Calibres cover generator allow customization.
In the Metadata Editor: Right click the Generate cover button:Customize...

Subtitle is where Series gets put. Make the font smaller
