+This plugin allows one to get the description for an authorised value
+from within a template.
+
+First, include the line '[% USE KohaAuthorisedValues %]' at the top
+of the template to enable the plugin.
+
+To use, call KohaAuthorisedValues.GetByCode with the category
+of the authorised value, the code to look up, and optionally,
+the OPAC flag ( if set, it will return the OPAC description rather
+than the Intranet description ).
+
+For example: [% KohaAuthorisedValues.GetByCode( 'LOST', item.itemlost, 1 ) %]
+will print the OPAC description for the LOST value stored in item.itemlost.
