Biber::LaTeX::Recode - Encode/Decode chars to/from UTF-8/lacros in LaTeX

    use Biber::LaTeX:Recode
    my $string = 'MuXammad ibn MXsX al-KhwXrizmX';
    my $latex_string = latex_encode($string);
        # => 'Mu\d{h}ammad ibn M\=us\=a al-Khw\=arizm\={\i}'
    my $string = 'Mu\d{h}ammad ibn M\=us\=a al-Khw\=arizm\={\i}';
    my $utf8_string   = latex_decode($string);
        # => 'MuXammad ibn MXsX al-KhwXrizmX'

Allows conversion between Unicode chars and LaTeX macros.

Possible values for the encoding/decoding set to use are 'null', 'base' and 'full'; default value is 'base'.

null => No conversion

base => Most common macros and diacritics (sufficient for Western languages
and common symbols)

full => Also converts punctuation, larger range of diacritics and macros
(e.g. for IPA, Latin Extended Additional, etc.), symbols, Greek letters,
dingbats, negated symbols, and superscript characters and symbols ...

  Initialise recoding sets. We can't do this on loading the module as we don't have the config
  information to do this yet

Converts LaTeX macros in the $text to Unicode characters.

The function accepts a number of options:

    * normalize => $bool (default 1)
        whether the output string should be normalized with Unicode::Normalize
    * normalization => <normalization form> (default 'NFD')
        and if yes, the normalization form to use (see the Unicode::Normalize documentation)
