I started noticing some strange behavior with my html paged document with page numbers being skipped. I tested rendering the html paged skeleton template that comes with the pagedown package, and I noticed that it is skipping from page 1 to page 8. The introduction page says page 1, then there is a blank page which doesn't display a page number, and then the next page says page 9.
I am on the latest version of pagedown and have not updated any other packages recently. My suspicion is that if the package pulls files from the internet, one of those files may have changed which caused the change in behavior.
