I get back with the same issue I reported a few months ago,
hoping it will be solved in the next release. I’m certain others
suffer with the issue.
If I typeset the following noinput.tex test file with “xetex -shell-escape noinput”
---\input"|echo $(date)”\relax---
---\input"|echo $(date)”\relax---
\bye
the console output is
\write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./noinput.tex (|echo $(date)---) (|echo $(date)---) [1] >
Note the missing newline. No PDF file is produced. If I call it as
second one seems to just produce a \par. The console output, in this case, is
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99998 (TeX Live 2017) (preloaded format=xetex)
\write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./noinput.tex (|echo $(date)) (|echo $(date)) [1] )
Output written on noinput.xdv (1 page, 288 bytes).
Transcript written on noinput.log.
noinput -> noinput.pdf
[1]
3338 bytes written
The log file shows nothing suspicious.
Ciao
