Documentation for the database module

Documentation for the database module

[mylists]

Hi,

I want to typeset a Periodic Table of the Elements. The according data
is prepared in a file with comma separated values (csv/UNIX). I found
some *very* basic informations how to get file based csv-data typeset,
but the result is hardly recognizable as Periodic Table of the
Elements.

To understand how to use the according commands I need a documentation
of it.

What I found was this:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/M-database
which is more a summary of two examples with no explanations and
starting with the warning "This may be outdated".

Where can I find a good one?

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!
Cheers!
mcc

Some time ago I wrote metapost code for make a periodic table.

See:

Have a nice day

Have a look at the bibliography module’s documentation (mkiv-publications.pdf), there’s an example with chemicals. Don’t know if that fits your needs.
