[EP-tech] Re: DataObj->render_citation options

[af05v at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Adam Field)]

The actual rendering happens here:

	https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/Citation/EPC.pm#L64

But is is a confusing, twisty route.  A call to render_citation should look like this:

$eprint->render_citation('citation_name', %params);

...where params is a hash that looks like this:

(
	thing1 => DOM_OBJECT,
	thing2 => DOM_OBJECT,
	flags => {
		flag1 => 1,
		flag2 => 0,
		flag3 => 1,
	},
)

Params are things that are passed through that may be used in the citation.  Generally speaking, these are dom objects to be put into the citation or flags to base conditionals upon.

Does that help?
