The PaginateText extension paginates a long block of text contained in a wiki page.

• Download and move the extracted PaginateText folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cd extensions/
  git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/PaginateText
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'PaginateText' );
  

  If installing from git, don't forget to do git submodule init && git submodule update. Otherwise, the extension will not work.
• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

<paginatetext>A really huge block of text ... that ends here.</paginatetext>

The pages default to a height of 600px. This can be modified by passing a height parameter. For example:

<paginatetext height=300px>A really huge block of text ... that ends here.</paginatetext>
