Expected behaviour / Erwartetes Verhalten

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Steps to reproduce / Schritte zum Reproduzieren

Create a view with:

{% load view_tags %}
<u>'</u>

Viewing the view for a project results in a RuntimeError:

Pandoc died with exitcode "43" during conversion: Error producing PDF.
! Cannot use \XeTeXglyph with ectt1000; not a native platform font.
\remove@tlig #1->\XeTeXglyph 
                             \numexpr \XeTeXcharglyph #1\relax 
l.61 \ul{\textquotesingle{}}

Using

            pandoc_args = [arg.replace(
                '--pdf-engine=xelatex', '--pdf-engine=lualatex'
            ) for arg in pandoc_args]

at https://github.com/rdmorganiser/rdmo/blob/interview-contact-modal/rdmo/core/utils.py#L233-L234 fixes the issue.

No clue if changing to lualatex introduces new problems.
