Hello all,
My big weakness in TeX practice is working with the expansion. Perhaps
because he speaks so Lua.
I would like to ask whether there is any possibility of printing table
columns (throw Mojca database module) when the column data are contained
in a separate macro.
Example:
\usemodule[database]
\defineseparatedlist
[NaturalTable]
[separator=comma,
before=\bTABLE,after=\eTABLE,
first=\bTR,last=\eTR,
left=\bTD,right=\eTD]
\def\tabrow{A, B, C}
\starttext
\startseparatedlist[NaturalTable]
a,b,c
A,B,C
\stopseparatedlist
\blank[big]
\startseparatedlist[NaturalTable]
\tabrow
\stopseparatedlist
%But I would like get table with three separate columns
\stoptext
While I can parsing column data contained in macro \tabrow, anyway I
cant transmit column data to \startseparatedlist[NaturalTable] ..
\stopseparatedlist environment to make it work.
Thanx Jaroslav

\expanded{\startseparatedlist[NaturalTable]
\tabrow}
\stopseparatedlist
might work

appendix:
Is it possible that the error is in the Mojca database module??

no, it's related to the nature of the module ... it operates on raw data
and avoids expansion as well as uses line endings with a different
catcode ... there is no way around it and as the module is already
somewhat complex it will not be touched
it might be easier to manage your data in lua tables and then write out
context commands
