Perhaps a brief explanation of what callnumber.pl is meant to do would be a useful addition to the manual. I am not certain what its function is, though I discovered that it doesn’t do what I was hoping it would. See bug 13615 for a long winded query.
Still valid. I could also not find references to value builders or plugins in the context of catalouging - there might be a whole lot to document there!
There is now a cataloguing (value builder) section in the manual (https://koha-community.org/manual/23.05/en/html/valuebuilder.html). My plan is to add a table/list of the plugins with a short description, then to add the details for each one. I'll start with this one, and go from there. Some already have a good description in the actual script, and many of the UNIMARC ones are helpers used to populate the fields with the required values.
Explanation could be added to https://koha-community.org/manual//latest/de/html/valuebuilder.html In the script callnumber.pl there is a fairly good explanation that might be used as a template for the manual text: =head1 DESCRIPTION Is used for callnumber computation. If the user send an empty string, we return a simple incremented callnumber. If a prefix is submited, we look for the highest callnumber with this prefix, and return it incremented. In this case, a callnumber has this form : "PREFIX 0009678570". - PREFIX is an upercase word - a space separator - 10 digits, with leading 0s if needed =cut
