In my simple non-coder way of seeing things, I was thinking about $nextpage = $currentpage +1 and $previouspage = $currentpage - 1.
The writer could just type [ url=$nextpage ] my witty next page link [ /url ], no?
I don't know how the thing is built right now so maybe I'm just suggesting something that means a total rewrite =)

What about this:
- The writer knows how many pages his article has because he is the one with the finger on the button, right? (Haven't seen it but I'm guessing from your earlier comments that you are breaking pages using bbcode so everything is written on the same textarea, right?)
- If he knows, then the thing doesn't need to be so automatic than we have been discussing, it just needs to be simple, right?
- So why not going bbcode all the way and create a new one like [ page=x ] [ /page ] that will link to the article URL location + "&page=x"?
This way he could make links back and forth without effort and without messing with complicated code.

Anyway, I think this question is secondary. Please do concentrate on the important things you want for this release and leave this to another date. Maybe in the meanwhile some genius stroke hit you =)
