# Posts as multiple pages

 * I’m trying to figure out how I can get it so a post will be spread over several
   pages. Some posts are quite long and would require a lot of vertical scrolling
   which really isn’t ideal. How can I get it so after so much text, at the bottom
   the ‘previous page — next page’ thing shows up and takes you to the next portion
   of the post?
 * Also, can I make it so I choose when the first page ends and it goes to the second,
   third, etc?
 * Any help is greatly appreciated.

 * Hi,
 * The simplest method is to edit your post in HTML view and add the following quicktag
   wherever you want a postpage break:
    `<!--nextpage-->`
 * This automatically creates a set of page numbers at the end of the post for navigating.
   Depending on the theme you use though it can have some unintended side-effects
   in terms of how the rest of the page displays.
 * Alternatively, there are two plugins available to try:
 * [Angsuman’s Multi-page Plugin](http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/angsumans-multi-page-plugin-wordpress-2x-plugin-to-create-multi-paged-articles/)
 * [Tarkan’s Multi-page Toolkit](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multi-page-toolkit/)
 * Hope that helps.

 * Ah, the nextpage tag works perfectly. I was thinking that there would be something
   similar to the <!–more–> tag, but wasn’t sure what it would be.
 * Thanks.
