(*) You can control how many items and what the separator between each item will be by opening the template.xml file in a text editor (Notepad) and locate the following rows: <Actors Separator=", " MaximumValues="5" /> <Genres Separator=", " MaximumValues="5" /> <Directors Separator=", " MaximumValues="5" /> <Countries Separator=", " MaximumValues="5" /> <Studios Separator=", " MaximumValues="5" /> <Subtitles Separator=”,” MaximumValues=”5”/> <Episodes Separator=”,” MaximumValues=”5”/> <EpisodesNames Separator=”,” MaximumValues=”5”/> <Languages Separator=”,” MaximumValues=”5”/> <LanguageCodes Separator=”,” MaximumValues=”5”/>
Separator specifies which separator you want to use and MaximumValues specifies the maximum number of items you want to show.
To every text variable you can append different casing conversions:
{UPPER} - Makes the whole text in upper case (eg. %TITLE%{UPPER} will make the whole title uppercase)
{LOWER} - Makes the whole text in lower case (eg. %TITLE%{LOWER} will make the whole title lowercase)
{TITLECASE} - Makes the whole text in title casing format (eg. %TITLE%{TITLECASE} a title of "The whole nine yards" becomes "The Whole Nine Yards")
Possible values for 'TextAlignment:' are: BottomCenter, BottomLeft, BottomRight, MiddleCenter, MiddleLeft, MiddleRight, TopCenter, TopLeft, TopRight

XSL support for templates (v0.12.22)
Starting with v0.12.12 (beta) there is a basic support for XSL 1.0 (XSL 2.0 is (and will) NOT be supported) implemented. Here's how it works:
Currently we have a template.xml that is loaded by TG then filled with infos and then rendered using the rendering engine.
Optionally it is possible now to place a template.xslt file near the template.xml. This will change the processing flow as following:
Template.xml (with tokens)-> TG fills the tokens -> if template.xslt exists -> TG applies the XSL to the filled-up xml -> render the result
Author of the template/XSL must be very careful with the result of his transformation as that one is sent to the rendering engine. I recommend doing an identity copy and then processing individual cases. I also recommend checking log.txt when something goes wrong as most of the errors are logged there.
The XSL transformation is optional and may help defining conditions and other tasks right before rendering.
Here is a sample of an XSL file (it is complete, you can use it as start point):
<Cutbelow>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="//Elements"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="TextElement[@Name='OriginalTitle']"> <xsl:variable name="smallcase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/> <xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/> <xsl:variable name="originalTitleFinal" select="//tokens/token[@name='%ORIGINALTITLE%']"/> <xsl:variable name="originalTitle" select="translate(//tokens/token[@name='%ORIGINALTITLE%'], $smallcase, $uppercase)"/> <xsl:variable name="title" select="translate(//tokens/token[@name='%TITLE%'], $smallcase, $uppercase)"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$originalTitle != $title "> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
