`Table 2.3 (p21)`, `Table 2.5 (p25)`, etc. in the pdfmark reference

Entity: line 5: parser error : xmlParseCharRef: invalid xmlChar value 1
<rdf:Description rdf:about='

when you open your generated PDF in `evince`. These bugs were fixed
in Ghostscript 9.06.
The encoding of command-line arguments are not well standardized [4],
so I supply an `--argv-encoding` option to override the locale if
necessary.
