9.2.3.3 Finished Work Slug

When the Work Title and associated fields are available for a collection, then a special variable name of finished-work-slug can be used in a Merge Template in order to obtain a nicely formatted line stating that you have finished consuming some created work.

For example, if you are referencing the book The Proof of my Innocence, then the resulting line will be:

Finished reading The Proof of my Innocence

The intent is for this slug to be used to generate the title for a blog post.

The Work Type field will be used, when available, to determine whether the title of the work should be italicized, or enclosed in parentheses.

If an Author field is available, then the author’s name will be appended to the end.

The output will be formatted in Markdown.
