Link element in XSL file pointing to barcode font of 39

Tagged With:-

I am in the middle of working on an XSLT file. The XSL file converts an XML doc to an HTML doc that contains a 16-digit number displayed as a barcode, The HTML doc is sent out as an email, so JavaScript is not allowed in email. I need to know if it is possible to use the Link Element in XSL / HTML with HERF pointing to the IDAutomationHC39 Code 39 Barcode Font.

Operating System: The xsl file create html doc that is sent out as email, so js are not allowed in email.

Brant	Best Answer Using the Link Element in XSL / HTML and referencing a font in this way is not ideal. When using fonts on the web or as an HTML link, IDAutomation recommends the Dynamic Barcode Generator SaaS because the barcode will be a URL such as: https://www.bcgen.com/demo/linear-dbgs.aspx?S=0&D=CODE-39 Another option would be to use the WOFF fonts that are provided with any developer license. This is also easy to do, refer to the WOFF Web Fonts in CSS and HTML example. When using fonts from the web in this way, ensure that appropriate Web Font Domain Restrictions are in place to keep others from using the font for other purposes.

To add a link element in an XSL file pointing to a barcode font of type Code 39, you need to include the appropriate CSS styling within the XSL file. This styling will define how the barcode font is applied to the content. Here's an example of how you can add a link element to the XSL file:

```xml
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8"/>


<style>
@font-face {
font-family: Code39;
src: url(path-to-your-font/IDAutomationHC39.ttf); /* Replace with the actual font file path */
}

.barcode {
font-family: Code39, Arial, sans-serif; /* Use Code39 font or fallback to Arial */
font-size: 24px; /* Adjust font size as needed */
}
</style>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>

<a class="barcode" href="#">123456</a>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
```

In this example:

1. Replace `path-to-your-font/IDAutomationHC39.ttf` with the actual file path to the Code 39 barcode font on your system.
2. The `@font-face` rule defines the font family "Code39" and specifies the font file using the `src` property.
3. The `.barcode` class specifies the CSS style for the barcode font, including the font family and font size.
4. Inside the `xsl:template` element, the `a` element with the class "barcode" is used to create a link with the barcode font applied. You can replace the `href` attribute with your desired link destination. Keep in mind that the availability of font embedding depends on the capabilities of the rendering engine or software that processes the XSL-FO output. Ensure that you have the appropriate license to use the barcode font for your intended purpose.
