Separate nodes into pages with paging module

The paging module gives you the ability to separate the text within the node body field into pages using the <!--pagebreak--> tag within the text.

To install this module just go to Administer >> Site building >> Modules and enable the module.

The first thing we have to do is enable the paging filter on an input format. Go to Site configuration >> Input formats. In this example, click on configure for the Filtered HTML.
