This package for the SILE typesetting system aims at providing QR code support.
It provides the qrcode package, which allows printing out a QR code in documents.
On a slightly related topic, you might also be interested in the barcodes.sile package set.
This package requires SILE v0.15.12.
Installation relies on the luarocks package manager.
To install the latest version, you may use the provided “rockspec”:
luarocks install qrcode.sile
(Refer to the SILE manual for more detailed 3rd-party package installation information.)
Examples are provided in the examples folder.
- Customizable size and error correction level.
- Option for disabling the quiet zone (safety margin).
- Colors and/or dotted patterns for nice effects on poster designs.
- Logo image in the center of the QR code, if you do not mind the loss of some error recovery capacity.
The in-code package documentation may also be useful. A readable version of the documentation is included in the User Manual for the resilient.sile collection of classes and packages.
