Hi,

Drupal looks like it may be the answer for my furture website(s) (more depending if it works out okay). One of the most important features I am looking for is for content to span over multiple pages. Is this possible with drupal?

Thanks,
Mitch

But... I'm pretty sure it could be implemented with a module.

In the meantime, book.module (which can link pages together and create next/previous and hierarchal navigation) may be of use to you.

I am not sure, you can achieve this with a module. I guess you can, if you do some major wizardry in _nodeapi('view'). You could hide the parts you don't want to show right now through CSS or something. You'd need to POST some parameter that specifies the subpage you are on.

The most difficult part would be automatic paging without having the user provide page breaks.

Would be nifty to have.

i'm not a programmer, but i saw in some nukes cms and they use in the content a special tag to denote a page break (like a normal --pagebreak--, i wonder if to implement this could add a empyy table with same structure like the history nodes, when a multipage node must be showed then we can divide the whole story in some nodes in the empty table, after that just apply the normal view to this table

is this idea kinda crazy?
