Smart Paging

Overview

Provides splitting up long Drupal content into sub pages by number of characters/words or by a placeholder HTML tag for node, user and taxonomy term entities.

Features

• Smart Paging feature can be applied only to CCK fields (with text format) of node, user and taxonomy term entities (Note: "Description" field of taxonomy term is not a CCK field)
• URL for sub pages made more SEO friendly and works even for aliased URL path
• The user has more control over Smart Paging configuration. An option is provided at "Manage Display" page of an entity type whether to control Smart Paging display behavior during content editing or at "Manage Display" page itself.
• Weight and visibility of Smart Paging can be controlled at "Manage Display" page of an entity type (bundle).
• Integrated with WYSIWYG module. More details here (Thanks to dalin)
• URL appended query argument ?nopaging=1 to display Smart Paging split pages as one page (Thanks to jtoth624)
• Integrated with Metatag module. More details here (Thanks to marcelovani)
• Additional Page SEO (See the details at http://drupal.org/node/1269396. Sponsored by: Advontemedia.com). The Wysiwig Smart Paging SEO by marcelovani provides the UI for multi-page metatags and its documentation can be found here.
• Pagination with rel=“next” and rel=“prev” (See details in this Google article)
• Token module support. More details here (Thanks to marcelovani)

Accuracy

It splits complex HTML markup content more accurately:

<div class="text-important">
  <p class="info">
  Long content paragraph... 
<!--pagebreak-->
  Continuation of long content paragraph.
  </p>
  <ul class="text-note">
    <li>List #1</li>
    <li>Long list #2...
 <!--pagebreak-->
    Continuation of long list #2</li>
    <li>List #3</li>
  </ul>
</div>

...into this:

- Page 1 -
http://www.example.com/node/1

<div class="text-important">
  <p class="info">
  Long content paragraph... 
  </p>
</div>

- Page 2 -
http://www.example.com/node/1/page/0/1

<div class="text-important">
  <p class="info">
  Continuation of long content paragraph.
  </p>
  <ul class="text-note">
    <li>List #1</li>
    <li>Long list #2...</li>
  </ul>
</div>

- Page 3 -
http://www.example.com/node/1/page/0/2

<div class="text-important">
  <ul class="text-note">
    <li>Continuation of long list #2</li>
    <li>List #3</li>
  </ul>
</div>
