long page content divided into multiple pages - page break ?

Is there a feature/add-on available for CMSMS which allows the automated creation of multiple page content with automated 'back' and 'next' links by using a Page Break ?

It's a commoonly used feature in many other CMSs and if it turns out that CMSMS can support this I have quite a few sites to port over to it.

It seems a fundamental feature for any CMS to be able to automatically generate multiple page content from a large article, but I can't seem to find an obvious solution within either TinyMCE or FCKEditorX.

Anyone found a solution to this yet ?

have I overlooked the obvious ?

Deja vu. I saw this question somewhere else recently, did you search the forum? I know what you're talking about though. It can definitely be done un-automatically. I needed to port some old content to CMSMS from another website and I just added a next link using cms_selflink and setting the page alias in the new page to whatever I put in the first one. Then I made it a child of the first page so I could see it was part of a series, and added a back link at the end. It's not automatic, but it's one way of doing it. To be honest, I'm not sure why this is needed in any application on the web, except where an article is really long, but even then it's not inconceivable to have it on the same page.

Maybe someone else has a better answer though, so hold out.
