- *
- * It is not actually used in default Views, as this is registered as a theme
- * function which has better performance. For single overrides, the template is
- * perfectly okay.
- *
- * Variables available:
- * - $view: The view object
- * - $field: The field handler object that can process the input
- * - $row: The raw SQL result that can be used
- * - $output: The processed output that will normally be used.
- *
- * When fetching output from the $row, this construct should be used:
- * $data = $row->{$field->field_alias}
- *
- * The above will guarantee that you'll always get the correct data,
- * regardless of any changes in the aliasing that might happen if
- * the view is modified.
