Hi,
We have barcodes embedded in a number of the "letters" (i.e. receipts) that
Alma sends to patrons or ILL offices, but those barcodes are for material IDs
that are normally input via barcode scanner and are referenced in the XSLT of
the letter as a .PNG. IOW, Alma holds/constructs an image of a barcode for the
ID of the materials and makes it available to the email/receipt. We have
recently added/changed a letter to include another, long-number-string, ID and
would like to have a barcode displayed for it as well. Otherwise, someone has
to read and manually enter the string which greatly increases the chance of
error.
I assume we can't convince Alma to construct a barcode image for any old number
string, so we will need to modify the XSLT code of the letter to display that
string in a barcode font. This letter will be printed from specific machines,
so it will be possible to ensure the font is installed, but I don't know how to
embed the HTML/CSS code necessary into XSLT.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks,
Erich
