wkhtmltopdf options

Hello!

I'd like to print the page number on the PDF pages when processing with 
wkthmltopdf. I tried the command line

  pandoc -o filename.pdf --pdf-engine wkhtmltopdf -c pandoc.css filename.md 
--pdf-engine-opt=--footer-center [page]

on Win10 cmd line, without success. How do I pass options to the 
wkhtmltopdf engine?

Cheers!

I think you have to use a separate --pdf-engine-opt for each word, e.g.,
this works for me on my Mac:

pandoc -o simple.pdf --pdf-engine wkhtmltopdf simple.md
--pdf-engine-opt=--footer-center --pdf-engine-opt=[page]

PS, You might hope that this would work, but I guess wkhtmltopdf doesn't
support equals signs between the option name and its value.

pandoc -o simple.pdf --pdf-engine wkhtmltopdf simple.md
--pdf-engine-opt=--footer-center=[page]

Indeed, this is the case: I arrived at the same conclusion after
examining the output of

  pandoc --verbose -o simple.pdf --pdf-engine wkhtmltopdf simple.md
--pdf-engine-opt=--footer-center --pdf-engine-opt=[page]

before reading your reply, which in fact served as confirmation from a Mac user.

Again, indeed, this is the case.

I suggest putting this information right in the corresponding place in
the user's manual.

Cheers!
