Re: Integrating barcode in xsl:fo

Abhi,

There are several different flavors of barcode, but the rules are pretty
straightforward and the logic to generate them can be handled in XSLT.  I use:

<fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="{$thickness}"
rule-style="solid" leader-length="{$length}"/>
<fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="{$void.thickness}"
rule-style="solid" color="white" leader-length="{$void.length}"/>

See this site for information about calculating width/height ratios and
character representations:

There may also be bar code fonts you can incorporate into your document.
