Title lines

hugblue · 10-09-2021, 06:41 AM

Hi.

Are there a way to have calibre use double lines in book titles ?

Like:
a books title could be :
Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix: More Than 700 Simple Recipes and Techniques to Mix and Match for Endless Possibilities: A Cookbook

Thats a long name. And the coloumn for title is smaller. Then it would be great if the title coloumn could be two line. So it would automatically split the text. To example like:
Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix: More Than 700 Simple Recipes
and Techniques to Mix and Match for Endless Possibilities: A Cookbook

Thanks.

Nope: (and that title is a huge muddle)
I will assume that Mark... is the Author, so get that out of the Title

More than... is a SubTitle. Make a custom column for that chunk (if you want to keep it) FWIW I also use this column for AKA titles

A Cookbook IS A TAG

Remember that this is YOUR Library to order and not let every publisher TELL YOU their way. GIGO if you don't take control

Huh, I'm assuming for the cover grid? Just realized it doesn't allow a sub-field like cover browser (flow) or the book details side panel.

Like theducks mention, you'd create a custom column 'subtitle' that would split title on the first colon for example.

Will look into this
or be back here. .-)

Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to use a line break in a composite column?

Title is not HTML, nor does the grid have an Auto Expand feature.
So this would be 2 No's
