by CTAN Announcements 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

On Wed, 1 Aug 2012 Markus Kohm submitted the gs1 package. Summary description: GS1 codes and bar codes (currently EAN-8 and EAN-13 only) using expl3 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GS1 started to handle codes specified by the GS1 specification. It can generate the control digits of some GS1 codes and some bar codes corresponding with the GS1 codes. It depends on stable expl3 packages and the sub-package rule-D only. There's an additional sub-package rule-D, that provides L3 functions ule:nn and ule:nnn similar to LaTeX2e ule command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/gs1 . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/gs1 (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
