This package set for the [SILE](https://github.com/sile-typesetter/sile) typesetting

system aims at providing barcode support.

It currently provides the `barcodes.ean13` package, which allows printing out an EAN-13

barcode, suitable for an ISBN (or ISSN, etc.)

![EAN-13 barcodes](ean13.png "ISBN examples")

The “human readable interpretation” in this example uses the “Hack” font.

Any other monospace font may be used, and a better result is obtained with an OCR-B font.

A good recommendation is [Matthew Skala's “OCR B” version](https://tsukurimashou.osdn.jp/ocr.php.en),

which is considered public domain and is included in this package for mere convenience, see [details](packages/barcodes/ean13/fonts/README.md).

On a slightly related topic, you might also be interested in the [qrcode.sile](https://github.com/Omikhleia/qrcode.sile) package set.

## Installation

These packages require SILE v0.14 or upper.

Installation relies on the **luarocks** package manager.

To install the latest version, you may use the provided “rockspec”:

```

luarocks install barcodes.sile

```

(Refer to the SILE manual for more detailed 3rd-party package installation information.)

## Usage

Examples are provided in the [examples](./examples) folder.

The in-code package documentation may also be useful.

A readable version of the documentation is included in the User Manual for

the [resilient.sile](https://github.com/Omikhleia/resilient.sile) collection

of classes and packages.
