The onion website just switched to drupal and they seem to have a pretty
good pager for their nodes.  I wonder how they did it.

This is a *beta* support for paging (splitting long page nodes into
smaller chunks) using a  <!-- page --> tag.


Even in this beta stage it works flawlessly in my drupal 4.6.3.


Preview of splitted nodes is broken without some other hacks; I'll
provide them as patches if this feature request is deemed interesting.

I'm very happy it's useful!


With this additional patch (it's against node.module) the <!-- page -->
tag is changed to <!-- pg --> in node_preview so that paging is not
triggered. The whole page in displayed instead.


Yes, it's a dirty hack, and comments are welcome if anybody knows how
to do it in a clean way.
