Barcode numbers?

[Siyfion]

I am currently using the Barby::PrawnOutputter to insert the generated barcodes straight into a pre-existing Prawn PDF file. However, I'd like to ensure that EAN8, EAN13 & Code 128 barcodes also have the numbers beneath them as per their "usual" form.

Is there a way to do this in Barby?

Nope.

Well hold on just a minute, surely this isn't just a case of closing this issue then?!

EAN8 and EAN13 barcodes must follow a specific standards document that dictates their design; the barcodes Barby produces don't follow that design, surely this is something that needs to be corrected & improved?

Nope.

Wow. Way to keep a module alive.

[American cop TV show internal affairs drama voice] Look pal, I know you think you're the first to come here with this brilliant idea. But guess what? There's been others before you and my answer to you is the same one I gave to them: It ain't happenin'. Now I have my reasons for this as I've given it a fair amount of thought and reflection, but I ain't gonna waste my time elaborating on those every time some young punk comes in here thinking he knows everything. So stop it with the drama, okay?

Firstly, I guess I should just be thankful that you responded with more than a single syllable this time. It's nice to be treated like a human being every once in a while!

Secondly, the whole point of GitHub issues is to discuss these matters, if you think you've already dealt with this issue before in a previous comment or issue, link it. If you haven't, deal with it here so you stop getting asked the same question time and time again, that way it helps all involved. Although, perhaps the fact you've been asked this question several times before, highlights that a fairly substantial part of this gem's user base also think it would be a nice addition.

Thirdly, this "young punk" is probably older than you are, so less of _your_ drama please.
