To write the Library Card element (Cd) in the index.

§1. The Library Card is part of the Contents index, and is intended as a natural way to present bibliographic data to the user. In effect, it's a simplified form of the iFiction record, without the XML overhead.

Note that the full version number is only listed on the Card if it is more than just a major version number (i.e., a non-negative integer): if it is something like "6", then it must be exactly the same as the release number, and there is no need to list both.

void CardElement::render?Usage of CardElement::render:

    inter_tree *I = Indexing::get_tree(session);
    inter_package *pack = InterPackage::from_URL(I, I"/main/completion/bibliographic");

§2. This uses:

void CardElement::Library_Card_entry?Usage of CardElement::Library_Card_entry:
§1(OUTPUT_STREAM, char *field, inter_package *pack,
    text_stream *key, text_stream *t) {
    HTML::first_html_column_nowrap(OUT, 0, NULL);
    if (Str::eq(key, I"^title")) {
        HTML::begin_span(OUT, I"librarycardtitle");
    } else {
        HTML::begin_span(OUT, I"librarycardother");
    }
    HTML::begin_span(OUT, I"typewritten");
    WRITE("%s", field);
    HTML::end_span(OUT);
    HTML::end_span(OUT);
    HTML::next_html_column(OUT, 0);
    if (Str::eq(key, I"^title")) {

    HTML_CLOSE("b");
    HTML::end_span(OUT);
    HTML::end_span(OUT);
    HTML::end_html_row(OUT);
}

§3. And both of those features use:

void CardElement::index_variable?Usage of CardElement::index_variable:
§2(OUTPUT_STREAM, inter_package *pack,
    text_stream *key, text_stream *t) {
    if (key) {
        if (Str::eq(key, I"^release")) {
            int R = (int) Metadata::read_optional_numeric(pack, key);
            if (R > 0) { WRITE("%d", R); return; }
        } else {
            text_stream *matter = Metadata::optional_textual(pack, key);
            if (matter) { WRITE("%S", matter); return; }
        }
    }
    WRITE("%S", t);
