Description Stijn J.L.L 2020-11-06 14:15:32 UTC
Description:
To create a QR for a european payment : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPC_QR_code
You need several lines of text, separated by "Line Break"
The LibreOffice object “QR Code” does not recognise “Line Break” after each line of text. It results in wrong QR. Every Line Break is ignored.
Banking-app-scan results in “General Error”.
The workaround "using the add-in extension goQR.me" also has a bug itself(places a space character in front of the text). And can not be automated in a macro.

It is important to recognise other characters like "New Line" to make it possible to create qr code for : Vcard, businescard, Configuration/installation options etc.

1. Select several lines of text separated by "Line Break"

3. click OK
4. results in wrong QR

Actual Results:
Wrong QR

Expected Results:
Right QR
