move latex special characters text to wiki or latex training

This sentence is too granular to fit in the book IMHO. And if we should keep it we should not keep it in a cloud specific section. We could perhaps move it next to `what-you-see-is-what-you-get' around line 127, as an example when what you see is what you get does not apply.

move this sentence to wiki or latex training:

A common problem you will face using online editors is special characters which, because of code functions, need to be handled differently than in Word. Most critically, the ampersand (\texttt{&}), percent (\texttt{%}), and underscore (\texttt{_}) need to be ``escaped'' (interpreted as text and not code) in order to render. This is done by by writing a backslash (\texttt{\textbackslash}) before them, such as writing \texttt{40\textbackslash%} for the percent sign to appear in text.

Will do this. Tried to do it this morning but github was acting up
