Biber::...ut::test(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the Biber::...ut::test(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the module it’s about is Biber::Output::test. It’s the output class for loopback testing. Essentially, this outputs to a string so we can look at it internally in tests. fr fr, that’s the whole assignment. 🎀

🦋 _printfield 🦋

Add the .bbl for a text field to the output accumulator. slay. ✨

🦋 set_output_entry 🦋

Set the .bbl output for an entry. This is the meat of the .bbl output — like, the main character energy of the whole .bbl situation. 👑

🦋 create_output_misc 🦋

Create the output for misc bits and pieces like preamble and closing macro call and add to output object. it’s giving “handle the lil extras.” 💅

🦋 output 🦋

BBL output method — this takes care to output entries in the explicit order derived from the virtual order of the auxcitekeys after sortkey sorting. no cap, order matters here. 🌀
