Overview

The paging module breaks long pages into smaller ones, either automatically by word/character limit, or by means of a customizable pagination tag. For example:

First page here.
<!--pagebreak-->
Second page here.
<!--pagebreak-->
More pages here.

Installation

Copy the paging-6.x-x.x.tar.gz contents to sites/yoursite/modules directory (usually sites/all/modules) and enable it at yoursite/admin/build/modules .
Enable paging for the content types you want to use it on, in the paging configuration at yoursite/admin/settings/paging .
Enable the paging filter for the relevant input format (usually Filtered HTML), in Input Formats configuration at yoursite/admin/settings/filters .
Your module is now setup and ready to be used.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I enable the paging module to use Clean URLs?: Drupal's pager system does not support clean URLs by default. A workaround can be found at http://gurpartap.com/node/19 .
How much support does paging provide for CCK node types?: Paging only works with content types using the core "Body" field.
How can I customize the pager navigation?: Either the theme_pager() function can be overridden to make minor customizations (see http://drupal.org/node/173880#function-override) or a complete new(custom) theme function to use can be specified in paging settings at admin/settings/paging.

Support

If you experience a problem with paging module, file a request or issue on the paging queue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/paging. DO NOT POST IN THE FORUMS. Posting in the issue queues is a direct line of communication with the module authors.

CCK Fields

I am need to figure out how to implement paging on a CCK field. I was thinking about taking your module as a basis for this (and bringing anything I figure out back to the module). Has any progress been made in this direction, before I start on my own path?
