[socrateslee]

Describe the bug

Error details
Call .write_html in footer will result in a recursive call _perform_page_break -> add_page -> footer loop, therefore result in a RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded error.

Minimal code

import fpdf

def render():
    class MyPDF(fpdf.FPDF):
            def footer(sub):
                sub.set_y(-15)
                sub.write_html("<p>this is a footer</p>")
    pdf = MyPDF(format='A4')
    pdf.add_page()
    pdf.write_html("<p>this is main content</p>")
    pdf.output('test.pdf')

render()

Thanks for reporting this, and welcome to fpdf2, @socrateslee !

That's quite an interesting bug you found there.
We should probably disable automatic page breaks while actually processing a page break (and when writing the last footer at the end of the document).

@allcontributors please add @socrateslee for bug

@socrateslee: would you like to submit a PR to fix this?
A good starting point would be to add unit test for this cas in test/html/test_html.py
