I can't quite remember how to do this: How do I remove the ToC numbering only if the title starts with "Chapter"?

I have 2 dozen storyUrl sections for strip_chapter_numbers, hoping to reduce that down a bit.

[JimmXinu]

defaults.ini says:

## (Two versions of chapter_title_strip_pattern are shown below.  You
## should only have one uncommented.)
## This version will remove the leading number from:
## "1." => ""
## "1. The Beginning" => "The Beginning"
## "1: Start" => "Start"
## "2, Chapter the second" => "Chapter the second"
## etc
## Leaves unchanged "1.1" or "1"
## Note that your ToC entry(ies) may be empty if the
## chapter_title_strip_pattern removes everything and you don't have
## add_chapter_numbers:true.
chapter_title_strip_pattern:^[0-9]+[\.: -]+(?=[^0-9]|$)

## This version remove leading numbers and 'Chapter 1':
## "Chapter 1" => ""
## "1. Chapter 1" => ""
## "1. Chapter 1, Bob's First Clue" => "Bob's First Clue"
## "Chapter 2 - Pirates Place" => "Pirates Place"
## etc
## Note that your ToC entry(ies) may be empty if the
## chapter_title_strip_pattern removes everything and you don't have
## add_chapter_numbers:true.
#chapter_title_strip_pattern:^([0-9]+[\.: -]+)?(Chapter *[0-9]+[\.:, -]*)?

So something like this maybe:

chapter_title_strip_pattern:^(Chapter *[0-9]+[\.:, -]*)?

Need to add IVX, etc if you want roman numbers, maybe replace with ^(Chapter *[^ ]+[\.:, -]*)? to get One, Two, etc.

- Better handling of &<> entities with stripHTML() and chapter titles. #1019

[chicleeblair]

Is there any way to record the length of an update/chapter? Preferably through FFF so it could be in the TOC or update log for each chapter, but if that's not possible and anyone knows of another way to see it via calibre, I'd appreciate it. Could at least make it a CC.

I mostly use AO3, so even something that only works there would be okay.

[JimmXinu]

Most sites, including AO3, do not report individual chapter length/size.

FFF does have a log page feature that can record the total word count and added word count each update.

From defaults.ini:

## include a Update Log page before the story text.  If 'true', the
## log will be updated each time the epub is and all the metadata
## fields that have changed since the last update (typically
## dateUpdated,numChapters,numWords at a minimum) will be shown.
## Great for tracking when chapters came out and when the description,
## etc changed.
include_logpage: false
## If set to 'smart', logpage will only be included if the story is
## status:In-Progress or already had a logpage.  That way you don't
## end up with Completed stories that have just one logpage entry.
#include_logpage: smart

## items to include in the log page Empty metadata entries, or those
## that haven't changed since the last update, will *not* appear, even
## if in the list.  You can include extra text or HTML that will be
## included as-is in each log entry. Eg: logpage_entries: ...,<br />,
## summary,<br />,...
logpage_entries: dateCreated,datePublished,dateUpdated,numChapters,numWords,status,series,title,author,description,category,genre,rating,warnings

By default, log page records total word count (numWords) at each update. You can also add metadata entry words_added to logpage_entries or assign it to a custom column using custom_columns_settings. words_added is calculated from the current updated numWords - numWords from last log page entry. numWords only works when log page is used.

thank you!

Is it possible to preserve the hyperlinks to AO3 tags (characters, relationships, freeform tags) on the titlepage? More out of curiosity than anything, I don't really need to do this.

This came up just last month.

TIA,

I'd have to do some substantial rearchitecting to put links on other metadata types.

And it would really only save you one click--story link, then click the tag.

[ownedbycats]

I figured something like that.

New question: Why does this fail to remove the 'summary for the chapter's from the fic?

[https://archiveofourown.org/works/959950]
exclude_notes:chaptersummary

I don't see that happening.

Unlike some settings, exclude_notes doesn't apply retroactively to existing chapters because it's implemented in the adapter(download) code instead of the HTML processing code that's also used on existing chapters.

So if you set exclude_notes:chaptersummary after downloading, you'll need to overwrite always, not update always to apply it.

(I thought I was seeing an opposite issue: chapter summary not included in chapter 1. But it turns out I was confused by the author including the same paragraph in the story summary and chapter summary for every chapter except chapter 1.)

[ownedbycats]

Yeah, the identical chapter summaries is why I wanted to remove it.

You were right about it being the wrong update mode - ran an overwrite and that fixed it.

NEW Question:

What I was looking for was to add the erotica tags on the Literotica website ePubs and JimmXinu helpped me with that on Github issues #1023.

But the issue with that is its only updating the tags of the first chapter and not the entire chapter of that story book ePub.

The entire tags are their in the title page if we look inside the ePub.

Right now I have these additoin codes in the personal.ini file

[literotica.com]
## Extract more erotica_tags from the meta tag of each chapter
use_meta_keywords: true

keep_in_order_eroticatags:true
custom_columns_settings:
 eroticatags=>#erotica

## Add the chapter description at the start of each chapter.
description_in_chapter: true

Any idea to update all the erotica tags of the book rather than the first chapter.

Please ask if you need additional data.

Thanks in advance.

I got a workaround for my issue.

I'm just going to set the update defaulted to overwrite rather than just updating the metadata form the web.

Overwrite is working splendedly.
