General ⇒ Spanish and CSV Files

[dracheschreck]

Hi! I'm still learning the ropes and ran into this problem, I ask in this forum because I can't seem to find a solution through other ways:

Trying to compile this code will give me errors. Apparently there is some problem when using babel and package csvsimple.

The error is as follows:

Code: Select all

! Missing \endcsname inserted.
<to be read again>
\protect
l.19 \csvautotabular{data/1.csv}
The control sequence marked <to be read again> should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.

Code is as follows:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{csvsimple}
\usepackage[spanish,es-noshorthands]{babel}

\begin{document}
\csvautotabular{data/1.csv}
\end{document}

"1.csv" contents are exactly:

Code: Select all

-------
123,321
321,123
-------

Disabling the \csvautotabular line eliminates the error. (Or not including babel).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The problem seems to come from the redefinition of lowercase Roman numerals made by the spanish option of the babel package. A quick fix is to load babel as follows:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[spanish,es-noshorthands,es-ucroman]{babel}

You may also use the es-lcroman option instead. See p. 4 in the guide of spanish.

Gracias!

That worked out perfectly
