Replying to myself, thanks to the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_optional_arguments). It seems that the command has to be defined as unexpanded, such as in: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupattachments[method=hidden] \usemodule[database] \starttext \unexpanded\def\ItemContents#1#2#3{\doiftext{#2} {\item {\em #1}\attachment[file=#2, name=\currentitemnumber-#2]% \doiftext{#3}{ (also available at #3)}}} \defineseparatedlist [test] [separator={,}, quotechar={"}, before={\startitemize[n]},after={\stopitemize}, first={\ItemContents},last={.}, left={\{},right={\}}] \processdatabasefile[test][context-documents.csv] \stoptext It is not clear for me why is this needed, but it might be one of the many aspects of expansion that average users cannot understand from TeX. Many thanks for your help, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
