better formating for GS1_128

Open stonebig opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I would think about 3 patches, relative to gs1_128, not sure were to place them:

having a text with the Application Identifiers betwen parenthesis, optionaly having the said text with spacing for the SSCC code (to hard to retype otherwise)
avoiding repeating u'\xf1' if already written per the user
u'\xf1' is not super ... allow also the use of '<FNC1>' (translated when writing)

it would so something like that:

what of these ideas would be considered pertinent for python-barcode team ?

Generally, improvements are welcome as long as backwards compatibility is maintained and it doesn't break anything.

Suport for '<FNC1>' sounds reasonable and useful.

I'm not sure I fully understand the parenthesis. Do you just allow then in the input but ignore them for the barcode itself?
