Creating barcodes in XSL presents a technique for employing an eXtensible Style Language (XSL) style sheet to draw barcodes from digit sequences. This eXstensible Style Language Transformations (XSLT) programming example could prove useful to people wishing to add barcode labelling to their XSL-based publishing solutions. The bar codes implemented are from the most widespread system in use, Universal Product Code/European Article Numbering (UPC/EAN), but other systems can easily be added. The output is an eXstensible Style Language Formatting Objects (XSL FO) table that can be rendered to a PDF document. An online barcode generator form lets you insert your own barcodes to see if a correct pattern is generated.
