underscore in celltext was no auto-escaped #2

Closed LennardSchwarz closed 4 years ago

The exact text in the cell was: "Event Name (eg. group_name - event)"

This resulted in a compilation error in Latex and I had to escape the underscore manually. Would be amazing if special characters could get escaped automatically!

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. There are pros and cons by setting them automatically. As I wrote in the readme: "Special LaTeX chars only "%"s are replaced with "\%". The rest special LaTeX chars remain intact, given that they may not be plain text. For example, $x$ may be a mathematical notation." But I will try to find a way to improve it.

By the way, by using "replace all" you can easily do the changes manually.

Thanks for clarifying! I did not readme carefully enough apparently.
