Bad interaction with shellesc

[Evpok]

Description

When shellesc is loaded before fontspec, lualatex errors in tuenc.def, xelatex seems to be fine.

Minimal example demonstrating the issue

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{shellesc}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}
hello
\end{document}

look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)

@Evpok sorry I can reproduce, looks like a change in shellesc rather than fontspec, give me a minute..

[davidcarlisle]

Sorry, just cut and paste incompetence on my part:(

On the very last line of shellesc.sty you will find

\catcode`\"\shellesc@underscorecat

which was supposed to be restoring the catcode of _ but "restores" the catocde of " instead, making " act like a math underscore.

Please edit that line so it looks like

\catcode`\_\shellesc@underscorecat

Please could you also edit the top to say something like

\ProvidesPackage{shellesc}
       [2019/10/17 v1.0b unified shell escape interface for LaTeX (+ underscore catcode fix)]

If you could confirm that works I'll push out a update to tools as soon as possible.

[Evpok]

Yes, it works, thanks!

[davidcarlisle]

Thanks for confirming, this is fixed at
latex3/latex2e@5a229cd
and I'll make a tools release to ctan later today,
