Thanks Dan,
I decided to try the option to use one group for storing data:
shelf.chapters.book_name.chapter_number for book chapter and
shelf.books.book_name - for basic data of the book and TOC; and
action.book.missing to display the content with conditional statement
for the various cases.
I stuck at the following problem: I take the book_name from the {p2}
variable and I need to display its title in the chapter header.
Unfortunately {p2:title} doesn't work. I tried to use info variable:
book: {p1}.{p2}; and then: {::book:title} but it's not working either.
Thank you for the support,
Bogdan
