ISBN-13 checksums worth checking out

[Emacs - Help mailing list]

Dear Emacs comrades, yes, my life has derailed
a bit, which explains my absence from the
programming scene.

But today, after a superhuman effort, I finally
did some of it again - and I couldn't have
picked a more urgent topic!

Alright, enough with the suspension, just like
Uri Geller can bend a spoon while still
connected to the Matrix (20 years: 1999-2019),
you guessed it, I added support for
ISBN-13 checksums!

  https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/isbn-new.el

The new stuff is at lines 29-51. It seems to...
check out.

Right?

I yank it last (now) if you don't want to
follow the URL.

Super happy to see you here again, Emanuel. :)

Would you consider adding license headers to
the (non-trivial) snippets you post here?  It
would be really helpful for those of us that
like to use them in our Emacs configs in
freedom!

You can see examples of Elisp license headers
in any of the lisp/*.el files in your Emacs
installation directory or in the Emacs git
repository, such as lisp/rot13.el:
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/rot13.el

And/or stick things in melpa/elpa! I would find this library useful.

Actually, if you wanted to make an ISBN barcode generator in elisp, that
would be aces :)

Thank you guys, well I have thought about it
because of obvious reasons and advantages to me
and maybe even other people, but never gotten
to it...

But maybe the stars are aligned for this
particular package because it is not intermixed
with configuration and it is such a nerdy
one-purpose thing that it is easy to understand
to anyone.
