Uh oh! I just messed up 2 of Laura Ann's books. I was removing
headers and put her page numbers neatly at the top left of each
page. There were adjacent to a tab character and the heading. I
thought I was being careful so the stripper wouldn't be confused by
the headers. Now I find out that my neatly placed page numbers will
be stripped without a blank line. The irony is that I don't like
doing page numbers. Someone somewhere has got to be laughing over
this one.

Evan,
I can't say for sure without being able to look through the code for Bookshare's tools, but my guess would be that the tools end up stripping the paragraph markers at the end of the header or the front of the footer as part of stripping the text, that they still strip the paragraph markers even when there's no text on the line, and that the tools fail to put them back in when they create the HTML file. That's only a guess, though. All I know for certain is that the page numbers end up part of a paragraph when a blank line isn't left at the top and bottom of the page.
It's possible that Bookshare's fixed this problem and hasn't informed us, but I doubt they've done so because they haven't fixed other bugs that we've reported.
