Splitting a long Article into multiple linked pages

Splitting up long articles into sections is a helpful way of presenting content. Joomla! can be used to split Articles into multiple pages which are linked using Previous and Next page navigation and also a Table of Contents section which is displayed as part of the Article.

To split a long Article into multiple linked pages:
#Open the Article for editing either by:
#* Click the '''Content > Article Manager''' menu item to go to the ''Article Manager'', select the Article and click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#* Clicking the ''Add New Article'' button in the Control Panel.
#* If logged in to the Front-end, you have appropriate permissions and are viewing the Article you wish to edit: Click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#Locate the position in the content where the first page should end with the cursor.
#Click the ''Pagebreak'' editor button at the bottom of the page. The ''Insert Pagebreak'' screen will open.
#Enter the ''Page Title'' and ''Table of Contents Alias'' as required:
#*'''Page Title''': Allows you to enter a sub title for the page displayed after the Article title. If left blank the main Article title will be used.
#*'''Table of Contents Alias''': Used to give a shortened name for the Table of Contents which is displayed as part of multiple page Articles. If left blank the link will be displayed as '''Page #'''.
#Click the ''Insert Pagebreak'' button. The screen will close and a horizontal rule will be inserted to show the location of the Pagebreak.
#*To close the Insert Pagebreak screen without inserting a Pagebreak click the ''X'' close button.
#Repeat steps 2-5 for each Pagebreak required.
#*To remove a Pagebreak delete the horizontal rule using the delete or backspace keys.

It is not possible to edit the Page Title and Table of Contents Alias using the content editor once it has been inserted. To modify the Pagebreak you can do one of the following:
*Delete and re-insert the pagebreak using the process described above.
*Edit the raw HTML of the Article using the editor and modify the '''title''' and '''alt''' attributes of the relevant '''<nowiki><hr></nowiki>''' HTML tag.

#Decide where you would like the introduction to finish and the read more link to appear. Place the cursor in this position.
#Click the ''Read more...'' editor button at the bottom of the editor. A horizontal rule will appear where the split in the article is placed.
#*The horizontal rule will not be displayed in the Article. It is only used as a marker for the system when displaying the page.
#*The read more link may be removed by deleting in the same way as text.
#Click the ''Save'' or ''Apply'' toolbar buttons to save the Article.

Note:
*When the read more link is clicked the entire Article will be displayed unless the Article parameter ''Show Intro text'' has been set to '''Hide'''. In this case only the content after the read more link will be displayed.

Tables are a very important way of presenting information and data within Articles. The following describes how to modify the basic elements of tables within an Article. For more information about inserting a table in an article please read: [[Inserting a table into an Article]].

#Open the Article for editing either by:
#* Click the '''Content > Article Manager''' menu item to go to the ''Article Manager'', select the Article and click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#* Clicking the ''Add New Article'' button in the Control Panel.
#* If logged in to the Front-end, you have appropriate permissions and are viewing the Article you wish to edit: Click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#Locate the table you wish to modify and follow the instructions below as required.

'''Insert a new row'''
*Select a cell in a row above or below where you wish to insert a new row.
*Click the ''Insert row before'' or ''Insert row after'' editor toolbar button.

'''Delete a row'''
*Select a cell in the row you wish to delete.
*Click the ''Delete row'' editor toolbar button.

'''Insert a new column'''
*Select a cell in a column adjacent to where you wish to create a new column.
*Click the ''Insert column before'' or ''Insert column after'' editor toolbar button.

'''Delete a column'''
*Select a cell in the column you wish to delete.
*Click the ''Remove column'' editor toolbar button.

'''Merge a range of cells'''
*Click and highlight a range of cells you wish to merge. This can be done vertically or horizontally.
*Click the ''Merge table cells'' editor toolbar button.
'''Split merged cells'''
*You may only split previously merged cells. This is different from most word processing applications and is because of the structure of HTML tables.
*Click the cell you wish to split.
*Click the ''Split merged table cells'' editor toolbar button.
Note: When a cell is split it will return to the format it was in before being merged. For example: a 3 row, 3 column table contains a merged cell spanning 3 columns, when this merged cell is split it will return to 3 cells.
