## Collections Section 095

| Collection                                               | Key                                                                                       | Description                                                                    |

| `Other Subtitles`                                        | `other`                                                                                   | Collection of Movies/Shows that are less common Languages.                     |

## Config

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: subtitle_language
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: subtitle_language
```

## Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.

Note that the `template_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

    === "File-Specific Template Variables"

        The below template variables are available specifically for this PMM Defaults file.

        Be sure to also check out the "Shared Template Variables" tab for additional variables.

        This file contains a [Separator](../separators.md) so all [Shared Separator Variables](../separators.md#shared-separator-variables) are available as well.

    ### Example Template Variable Amendments

    The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

    ???+ tip

        Anywhere you see this icon:
      
        > :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus:
      
        That's a tooltip, you can press them to get more information.


    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies:
        collection_files:
          - pmm: subtitle_language
            template_variables:
              use_other: false #(1)!
              use_separator: false #(2)!
              exclude:
                - fr  #(3)!
              sort_by: title.asc
    ```

    1.  Do not create an "Other Audio" collection
    2.  Do not create an "Audio Language Collections" separator
    3.  Exclude "French" from having an Audio Collection

## Default Values

These are lists provided for reference to show what values will be in use if you do no customization.  **These do not show how to change a name or a list.**

If you want to customize these values, use the methods described above.

??? example "Default `include` (click to expand) <a class="headerlink" href="#include" title="Permanent link">¶</a>"

    <div id="include" />

    ```yaml

      comments=false
      preserve-includer-indent=false
      start="include:"
      end="key_name_override:"
    %}
    ```

??? example "Default `key_name_override` (click to expand) <a class="headerlink" href="#key-name-override" title="Permanent link">¶</a>"

    <div id="key-name-override" />
