If the module is
tex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules/mkiv/m-database.mkiv, I think this
is only intended for typesetting the database contents.
handlecsv enables document merging. With the first (stupid) sample that
comes to my mind:
\starttext
\startbuffer
\Name\ has completed the course {\em\Course}, achieving the
following grade: \Grade.\page
\stopbuffer
\doloopforall{\getbuffer}
\stoptext
Having to do that with before and after options would be a pain (in my
opinion).
You may page through
https://github.com/ousia/handlecsv/blob/context-suite/doc/context/third/handlecsv/handlecsv.pdf
to see the features.
I wonder whether it makes sense to extend the built-in module by Hans.
If this wasn’t needed before, it may be not needed now. And Hans’ time
is most precious to devote to other issues ;-).
BTW, handlecsv is coded by Jaroslav Hajtmar. I only release the module
to the public.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
