-<h3>Page number is wrong at start of page</h3>
-<p/>This is a long story, whose sources are deep inside the workings of
-TeX itself; it all derives from the TeX&#8217;s striving to generate
-the best possible output.
-<p/>The page number is conventionally stored in <code>\</code><code>count0</code>; LaTeX
-users see this as the counter <code>page</code>, and may typeset its value
-using <code>\</code><code>thepage</code>.
-<p/>The number (that is to say, <code>\</code><code>count0</code>) is only updated when TeX
-actually outputs a page. TeX only even tries to do this when it
-detects a hint that it may be a good thing to do. From TeX&#8217;s point
-of view, the end of a paragraph is a good time to consider outputting
-a page; it will output a page if it has <em>more</em> than a page&#8217;s
-worth of material to output. (Ensuring it always has something in
-hand makes some optimisations possible.) As a result, <code>\</code><code>count0</code>
-(<code>\</code><code>thepage</code>) is almost always wrong in the first paragraph of a
-page (the exception is where the page number has been &#8220;forcibly&#8221;
-changed, either by changing its value directly, or by breaking the
-page where TeX wouldn&#8217;t necessarily have chosen to break).
-<p/>LaTeX provides a safe way of referring to the page number, by using
-label references. So, rather than writing:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-Here is page \thepage{}.
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-you should write:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-Here is page \pageref{here}\label{here}.
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-(note: no space between the <code>\</code><code>pageref</code> and the <code>\</code><code>label</code>, since
-that could potentially end up as a page-break space itself, which
-rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!).
