- Wow!  Thank you very much!

And it works!  One thing though; the tag <ean>1234...0</ean> requires 
minimum 13 digits before it will try to render. It would be very useful 
to have the option to  let the extension pad with leading zero's if the 
number given i shorter than 13 digits (for example serie numbers often 
is shorter than 13 digits and it can be a bit tricky to pad with zero's 
using ParserFunctions).

I also added some install instructions regarding the new '/ean' 
directory to the Extension:EAN article (Apache on my server didn't have 
the rights to let your script automatically create the folder so I gave 
a hint about adding it manually instead).

Again, thank you very much! May I guess that you already thought of 
making the EAN code result resizable using parameter but you haven't had 
the time to write the road map yet... :)

In any case, <thumbs up> !
