Hi,
Awesome tool! A little odd behavior of the <pdf:pagenumber /> tag
causing double pagenumbers:

xhtml2pdf.exe filename.html

filename.html:

<html>
<head>
<style>
@page { @frame footer { -pdf-frame-content: footerContent; bottom:
1cm; height: 1cm; } }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="footerContent">Page <pdf:pagenumber /></div>
</body>
</html>

renders: "Page 11" whereas

<html>
<head>
<style>
@page { @frame footer { -pdf-frame-content: footerContent; bottom:
1cm; height: 1cm; } }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="footerContent">Page <pdf:pagenumber />
</div>
</body>
</html>

renders: "Page 1".

That is a newline is needed before the closing tag of the div (or p)
to avoid double line numbers.
May save someone else some time some time.

> xhtml2pdf.exe --version
XHTML2PDF/pisa 3.0.33 (Build 2010-06-16)

Same result with ho.pisa.CreatePDF (Windows XP, SP3).

Might be just a parser quirk. In default mode self-closing tags aren't
recognized properly so the parser would probably add another pdf tag
right after ? This is on top of my head, I had similar issues with the
python API not the command line. Check for a command-line xhtml
option/flag.

I believe I had a similar issue, where I had to the page number to
it's own line.
