Generate the barcode from a valid ISBN-13, the standard book identifier in publishing.
Strips the hyphens and validates the check digit with the same algorithm as EAN-13 (modern ISBN-13s are, in fact, EAN-13 codes with the 978 or 979 prefix).
Use cases
- Generating the barcode for a self-published book.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it work with ISBN-10?
- Not directly: enter the ISBN-13 (the format used in barcodes since 2007); if you only have an ISBN-10, convert it to ISBN-13 first.
