Characters are not escaped in LaTeX, leading to render errors

[prabhjotsbhatia-ca]

Describe the bug Some characters commonly used in resumes are not escaped in LaTeX, leading to render errors, or inaccurate results. For example,

• "|" converts to "---"

• "$" leads to render errors (need to manually escape it with"\"in the YAML file)

To Reproduce Please provide a minimal YAML input as a code block for us to produce the same error.

Thank you!

I couldn't reproduce the "|" converts to "---" issue. In my case, it prints "|" successfully. Could you please provide a full YAML file to reproduce?

RenderCV doesn't escape the $ sign by default to allow users to add math. Do you think it would be better if it were escaped by default?

I'm using the sb2nov theme with Latin Modern Sans Serif. You can reproduce it by just adding the pipe character "|" to any yaml element using the sb2nov theme

Perhaps it is because of not using this: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} as outlined here: https://texblog.net/latex-archive/uncategorized/symbols/
