The setting of \"ePub Extended Metadata\" are configured by *Library*.\n2. \"ePub Extended Metadata\" came with 2 companion plugin \"ePub Extended Metadata {Reader}\" and \"ePub Extended Metadata {Writer}\" that are auto-installed, so do not be surprised to see them appear, it means the plugin has been properly installed.\n3. The contributors use custom colums \"Comma separated text, like tags\", with the option \"Contains names\" checked to make the value separated by a Ampersand \u0026 (like Authors). The titles use custom colums \"Long text, not shown in the Tag browser\" with the option \"Short text, like a title\".\n4. The plugin support KEPUB files, since their (mostly) just ePub with a other name.\n\n\n**Credits:**\n\n* The MARC Code associated name and decriptions are extracted from the [Sigil](https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil) code source (with minor edit)\n* Some translation of the MARC Code are also based on the translation made for [Sigil](https://www.transifex.com/zdpo/sigil/dashboard/) (language: FR)\n\nIdea lauch here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=344482\n\n\n**Installation**\n\nOpen *Preferences -\u003e Plugins -\u003e Get new plugins* and install the \"ePub Extended Metadata\" plugin.\nYou may also download the attached zip file and install the plugin manually, then restart calibre as described in the [Introduction to plugins thread](https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118680\")\n\nThe plugin works for Calibre 5 and later.\n\nPage: [GitHub](https://github.com/un-pogaz/ePub-Extended-Metadata) | [MobileRead](https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345069)\n\n\u003cins\u003eNote for those who wish to provide a translation:\u003c/ins\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nI am *French*! Although for obvious reasons, the default language of the plugin is English, keep in mind that already a translation.\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n![configuration dialog, contributors tab](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/un-pogaz/ePub-Extended-Metadata/main/static/ePub_Extended_Metadata-contributors.png)\n![configuration dialog, titles tab](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/un-pogaz/ePub-Extended-Metadata/main/static/ePub_Extended_Metadata-titles.png)\n![configuration dialog for metadata reader](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/un-pogaz/ePub-Extended-Metadata/main/static/ePub_Extended_Metadata-reader.png)\n\n\n[mobileread-url]: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345069\n\n[changelog-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/History-CHANGELOG-blue.svg\n[changelog-url]: changelog.md\n\n[license-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPL-yellow.svg\n[license-url]: LICENSE\n\n[calibre-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/calibre-5.00.0_and_above-green?logo=data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQCAYAAAAf8/9hAAAACXBIWXMAAA7DAAAOwwHHb6hkAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQB3d3cuaW5rc2NhcGUub3Jnm+48GgAAAllJREFUOMt1kz1MU1EUx3/3fZSP0lJLgVqRNqCDHxApAWcXF9O4oomDcXU06iIuLgxuTi4mrm7GRI2LiYOJ4ldAiBqxqSA2lEc/oNC+d991eI8HRnuGm3tzzv2d/znnXpEb5CHQDoCi8LigruHbrXOTs6Wl6qnkcPTd7SdvTvMfM/I1LgnhHYSgePHm9APheMAbV8e+mZoaR7BCCzMyEehNJXCky0bR2tJcdx7Nc+at0POjiQYokWkJABgcTlGv72AVLXRdQ9d0XKUob4uyF6aGWgE0gO36Jq7dBEBKl6Zt4zgO5bpe8uO6P768HGupACVRrvzHWdwMWbAFwHx96uy9u+UTc68WcmcuTCqljNzMFL80gCNDMfr6O0Eh9gOWq2YZsAFWGyNXYv3h6cLnyph0mllhMBGU8HVxleKKBQIFcKiv1y8HF1gG6NGXqqF2E8cGx3bQYSwA/Mxb1CrbQWYlwDT86iAPMGDMSYDIAcHGagUF4wEgnQ4Tj5t7AFehacLvssgDpPSFMGDH+kKUlssA2aCJ9a0GXV1GADBNA0e6u7g8gC4aaWBxMjc62tbeBpC6/oikBlCtNNmsNQKAbUtPvLf+8DcZJXgfTyYIxyLeCDWyGoAmFNWaDEYgpYNhmP49TwEQ6aT25a85Kx/QHVYkoq6fE1ylgnfhCrkLYDD0YW3/fQFZ7XsVXizAs3ko1Ij0J3pIpw5yOJkk3NHRefJ1egVoABw3nu4Ack8AWWM4yk7wnWHtd2k9Wiytt/kpLGbuuPcnRl27KRsDI/Fj6jxvhcBU8EkoZv8AURDxq1Vav0YAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\n[calibre-url]: https://www.calibre-ebook.com/\n\n[status-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/Status-Stable-green\n\n[mobileread-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/MobileRead-Plugin%20Thread-blue?logo=data:image/png;base64,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\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fun-pogaz%2Fepub-extended-metadata","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fun-pogaz%2Fepub-extended-metadata","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fun-pogaz%2Fepub-extended-metadata/lists"}
