mpdf page numbering {PAGENO} with smarty template engine

Question

I want to use pagenumbering in mpdf with tags how its described in mpdf manual:

http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php?tid=109

Problem is I have used smarty template engine and there I can not use mpdf tag {PAGENO} in header/footer direct in html template, because I think smarty expected in {} parentheses variables. ( example {$test} )

So when I define {PAGENO}, smarty get syntax error: unrecognized tag 'PAGENO' ...

also I have tried to call this metod, but it's not working->when I generate pdf, in generated pdf is nothing regarding page numbering:

// Set a simple Footer including the page number

$mpdf->setFooter('{PAGENO}');

Have anybody some idea, how I could use mpdf page numbering with smarty template engine?

thx

Just use {literal} in your html template:

{literal}{PAGENO}{/literal}
