Did you know that has a built-in QR and barcode generator? Now you do 😉 https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/qrcode.html

@libreoffice Ooooh! I didn't know. I always imported them through @inkscape (that has also a generator)

Lovely

No, I didn't know that, but I know which Youtube video id starts with dQw4w 😄

Apologies for nit-picking, but your help page says the menu choice is "OLE Object" when it is in fact just "Object".

@jgamble It says "OLE Object" here (LibreOffice 24.2). What version are you using, on what operating system?

@libreoffice

Latest LMDE, latest or nearly so Libreoffice (it's Saturday morning my time, I am not turning on the computer for a while).

I have to ask: why on Earth would LO choose to add the adjective "OLE"? It adds no useful information (even for Windows users) and merely clutters up the menu list.

@libreoffice It might be useful to mention that "barcode" produces a Code128 barcode, rather than any other type.

@libreoffice now if only it could use custom fields in the source… 🤔

That's cool!

If you want something lighter, you can use the barcode plugin with #TiddlyWiki to generate barcodes right in your browser!
The bar code plugin is already installed on the demo page at TiddlyWiki.com.

There's also the ability to read-in bar codes from your camera. (To be honest, I haven't tried this yet).

@libreoffice I would love to see include US postal coding for addresses (the coding just above the mailing address). I know there are some add-on that do this, but they have not worked for me in my experience.

That's excellent
Thank you
