Barcodes

bkhtmltopdf has a built-in <barcode> custom tag for generating barcodes and QR codes. It inherits from the standard <img> tag, so it supports style, class, alt, and other attributes, while adding type, value, and options for dynamic generation.

Attributes​

AttributeTypeDescription
typestringBarcode type (e.g., qrcode, code128), see: Types
valuestringBarcode content (e.g., text or URL)
optionsstringType-specific options, separated by , (e.g., includetext)
widthstringWidth (e.g., 200px), default is auto
heightstringHeight (e.g., 200px), default is auto
altstringAlternative text for accessible PDFs (screen readers)
tip

<barcode> is converted to an image during rendering, so keep value short to optimize performance.

Example​

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Hi, bkhtmltopdf!</title>
</head>
<body>
<barcode type="qrcode" value="Hi, bkhtmltopdf." width="200px" height="200px"
         alt="This is a QR code whose value is: Hi, bkhtmltopdf."/>

<barcode type="code128" value="123456789" width="200px" height="200px" options="includetext"
         alt="This is a Code 128 whose value is: 123456789"/>
</body>
</html>
