Just a side note: I noticed the new database module already in the beta, but the first Hans's fix (before Taco has touched it) introduced a new "tab-bug" which hasn't been quite resolved yet. If "separator=tab", it should trigger catcode change of tab to a "normal letter" and use that one for separating columns. Well, indeed it seems that the catcode is changed, but then I get the letter number 9 in EC font (macron) instead of going to new column.

so what patc is needed

That's slightly better, but can you please also check the following: \defineseparatedlist [CSV] [separator=comma, before=\bTABLE,after=\eTABLE, first=\bTR,last=\eTR, left=\bTD,right=\eTD] % I would expect an empty cell between "a" and "b", but the second cell starts with comma instead - I guess that it worked OK in the first version \startseparatedlist[CSV] a,,b,c d,e,f \stopseparatedlist Thanks, Mojca
