I am making a wine list from a CSV file (see my first question here: How to import data from excel and format it as text in LaTeX?) and I need to align the prices on the right.

To do this, I used the datatool package to fetch the informations from my spreadsheet, DTLforeach to iterate what I wanted to do and hfill to align my prices on the right. (see code after the picture)

As you can see on the picture, it worked very well for every line but the last one of each (subsub)section, which is slightly misaligned:

Here is my code:

documentclass[12pt]article
usepackage[utf8]inputenc

% Pour modifer les marges
usepackagegeometry
% Marges du document 
geometryhmargin=1.5cm,vmargin=1.5cm


% To remove the heading of the table of contents ("Contents")
makeatletter
renewcommandtableofcontents%
 @starttoctoc%

makeatother %%% WAS makeatotherx = ERROR %%%

% To make itemized lists
% This package provides user control over the layout of the three basic list environments: enumerate, itemize and description. It supersedes both enumerate and mdwlist (providing well-structured replacements for all their funtionality), and in addition provides functions to compute the layout of labels, and to ‘clone’ the standard environments, to create new environments with counters of their own.

  Unfortunately the code as shown can't be run (a good MWE for LaTeX should start with documentclass and should have a begindocument...enddocument pair, in this case it would also help if you could supply example .csv data, see tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864), so I can only guess that you are missing a % somewhere.

  I did compile your document here... Have you noticed you are getting lots of compilation errors? You really shouldn't ignore these. Your code is doing an item without being wrapped in a list environment (and this is adding a space after the last entry). Try adding beginitemize before the DTLforeach command and an enditemize after it. The output should look right then. Ooh, and you have a typo. You have makeatotherx, with an extra x.

  I get two kinds of errors: (1) ! Undefined control sequence. l.28 makeatotherx. It should have been makeatother instead. (2) ! LaTeX Error: Lonely item--perhaps a missing list environment.. This is because you have item in your code when there is no itemize or enumerate to make use of it. That causes an error.

  Yes, but errors must be fixed even if superficially they don't affect the PDF - the absolutely affect the output. TeX has a limited ability to recover from errors, but usually it has to guess what to do and that is rarely exactly what you intended to happen. (1) Replace makeatotherx with makeatother. (2) Either don't use item at all or wrap it into an beginitemize...enditemize.

  Yes, but errors must be fixed even if superficially they don't affect the PDF - the absolutely affect the output. TeX has a limited ability to recover from errors, but usually it has to guess what to do and that is rarely exactly what you intended to happen. (1) Replace makeatotherx with makeatother. (2) Either don't use item at all or wrap it into an beginitemize...enditemize.

  Unfortunately the code as shown can't be run (a good MWE for LaTeX should start with documentclass and should have a begindocument...enddocument pair, in this case it would also help if you could supply example .csv data, see tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864), so I can only guess that you are missing a % somewhere.

  I did compile your document here... Have you noticed you are getting lots of compilation errors? You really shouldn't ignore these. Your code is doing an item without being wrapped in a list environment (and this is adding a space after the last entry). Try adding beginitemize before the DTLforeach command and an enditemize after it. The output should look right then. Ooh, and you have a typo. You have makeatotherx, with an extra x.

  I get two kinds of errors: (1) ! Undefined control sequence. l.28 makeatotherx. It should have been makeatother instead. (2) ! LaTeX Error: Lonely item--perhaps a missing list environment.. This is because you have item in your code when there is no itemize or enumerate to make use of it. That causes an error.

There are two obvious problems with your code. You get errors about both of them.

Firstly you mistyped

makeatother

as makeatotherx which causes LaTeX to complain

! Undefined control sequence.
l.22 makeatotherx

Secondly your loop code in DTLforeach calls item but there is no surrounding list environment that would know how to deal with it.

Since you want to use item to get a new line, I suggest a plain trivlist in this case.

Apart from the problem in the code, the root issue is that CostPrice always has an ending space, as one can see by using textttmeaningCostPrice+++.

This may come from the fact that your csv data has spaces before the commas, but I suppose datatool knows how to remove such trailing space (it is harder in TeX to remove a trailing space than a leading one by the way).

Anyway if you use

beginitemize
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Iteration for Bordeaux Red Saint-Julien (R03)
DTLforeach*[DTLiseqRegionR03] % Condition
 BOR % Database label
 Vintage=Vintage,Name=Name,Classification=Classification,Type=Type,Origin=Origin,Region=Region,CostPrice=CostPrice % Assignment
% Stuff to do at each iteration:
 item
 textbfVintage
 textbf Name
 textit Classification
 hfillCostPrice

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
enditemize

There is no problem

The extra space doesnt show then. (it is suppressed by item paragraph)

Remark: in fact even with your buggy code you could have avoided the sapce this way:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Iteration for Bordeaux Red Saint-Julien (R03)
DTLforeach*[DTLiseqRegionR03] % Condition
 BOR % Database label
 Vintage=Vintage,Name=Name,Classification=Classification,Type=Type,Origin=Origin,Region=Region,CostPrice=CostPrice % Assignment
% Stuff to do at each iteration:
 item
 textbfVintage
 textbf Name
 textit Classification
 hfillCostPrice
%<----- suppress space from line end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Because then there is only ONE not TWO space tokens at the end of paragraph. Of course much better is to wrap in itemize else item is illegal.

Apart from the problem in the code, the root issue is that CostPrice always has an ending space, as one can see by using textttmeaningCostPrice+++.

This may come from the fact that your csv data has spaces before the commas, but I suppose datatool knows how to remove such trailing space (it is harder in TeX to remove a trailing space than a leading one by the way).

Anyway if you use

beginitemize
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Iteration for Bordeaux Red Saint-Julien (R03)
DTLforeach*[DTLiseqRegionR03] % Condition
 BOR % Database label
 Vintage=Vintage,Name=Name,Classification=Classification,Type=Type,Origin=Origin,Region=Region,CostPrice=CostPrice % Assignment
% Stuff to do at each iteration:
 item
 textbfVintage
 textbf Name
 textit Classification
 hfillCostPrice

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
enditemize

There is no problem

The extra space doesnt show then. (it is suppressed by item paragraph)

Remark: in fact even with your buggy code you could have avoided the sapce this way:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Iteration for Bordeaux Red Saint-Julien (R03)
DTLforeach*[DTLiseqRegionR03] % Condition
 BOR % Database label
 Vintage=Vintage,Name=Name,Classification=Classification,Type=Type,Origin=Origin,Region=Region,CostPrice=CostPrice % Assignment
% Stuff to do at each iteration:
 item
 textbfVintage
 textbf Name
 textit Classification
 hfillCostPrice
%<----- suppress space from line end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Because then there is only ONE not TWO space tokens at the end of paragraph. Of course much better is to wrap in itemize else item is illegal.
