Symbologies

The renderer ships with 63 symbologies. Use the canonical name in the type slot of an inline barcode tag — common aliases are listed in parentheses for readability.

Examples below are taken straight from the barcode-types showcase — see the rendered preview on the Overview page. Copy-pasteable inline tags that drop into any text element (p, td, li, header / footer content).
