I'm trying to work out a way to wrangle MT into a management system for an online comic that breaks down into multiple-page 'episodes', where each episode would ideally be just one entry.

Is there a way to configure MT to divide a single entry into several pages? Like you click on the link for the entry and it takes you to page 1 of that entry, with page breaks defined by the user? So I can post a six page 'issue' but have it represented as a single entry?

Hi Rootdown,

To my knowledge, MT doesn't natively support pagination for entries, just search results. But there is a plugin that seems to do what you're looking for:

Here's an example in use: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/government_20.php. You'd have to go with the pro version, though, which is $33.

And here's a blog post on some other options: http://mt4.juneeonline.com/babble-on/archi...ovable-type.php

Super Page may also fit the bill.
