+<h1>Pagination Class</h1>
+
+<p>Code Igniter's Pagination class is very easy to use, and it is 100% customizable, ether dynamically or via stored preferences.</p>
+
+<p>If you are not familiar with the term "pagination", it refers to links that allows you to navigate from page to page, like this:</p>
+
+<code><a href="#">&laquo; First</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="#">&lt;</a>&nbsp;<a href="#">1</a>&nbsp;<a href="#">2</a>&nbsp;<b>3</b>&nbsp;<a href="#">4</a>&nbsp;<a href="#">5</a>&nbsp;<a href="#">&gt;</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="#">Last &raquo;</a></code>
+
+<h2>Example</h2>
+
+<p>Here is a simple example showing how to create pagination in one of your <a href="../general/controllers.html">controller</a> functions:</p>
+
+<code>
+$this->load->library('pagination');<br /><br />
+$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.your-site.com/index.php/test/page/';<br />
+$config['total_rows'] = '200';<br />
+$config['per_page'] = '20';
+<br /><br />
+$this->pagination->initialize($config);
+
+<br /><br />
+echo $this->pagination->create_links();</code>
+
+<h3>Notes:</h3>
+
+<p>The <var>$config</var> array contains your configuration variables. It is passed to the <dfn>$this->pagination->initialize</dfn> function as shown above. Although there are some twenty items you can configure, at
+minimum you need the three shown. Here is a description of what those items represent:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>base_url</strong> This is the full URL to the controller class/function containing your pagination. In the example
+ above, it is pointing to a controller called "Page" and a function called "test". Keep in mind that you can
+ <a href="../general/routing.html">re-route your URI</a> if you need a different structure.</li>
+ <li><strong>total_rows</strong> This number represents the total rows in the result set you are creating pagination for.
+ Typically this number will be the total rows that your database query returned.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>per_page</strong> The number of items you intend to show per page. In the above example, you would be showing 20 items per page.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The <var>create_links()</var> function returns an empty string when there is no pagination to show.
+
+
+<h3>Setting preferences in a config file</h3>
+
+<p>If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can instead put them into a config file.
+Simply create a new file called the <var>pagination.php</var>, add the <var>$config</var>
+array in that file. Then save the file in: <var>config/pagination.php</var> and it will be used automatically. You
+will NOT need to use the <dfn>$this->pagination->initialize</dfn> function if you save your preferences in a config file.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Customizing the Pagination</h2>
+
+<p>The following is a list of all the preferences you can pass to the initialization function to tailor the display.</p>
+
+
+<h4>$config['uri_segment'] = 3;</h4>
+
+<p>The pagination function automatically determines which segment of your URI contains the page number. If you need
+something different you can specify it.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['num_links'] = 2;</h4>
+
+<p>The number of "digit" links you would like before and after the the selected page number. For example, the number 2
+will place two digits on either side, as in the example links at the very top of this page.</p>
+
+<h2>Adding Enclosing Markup</h2>
+
+<p>If you would like to surround the entire pagination with some markup you can do it with these two prefs:</p>
+
+<h4>$config['full_tag_open'] = '&lt;p>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag placed on the left side of the entire result.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['full_tag_close'] = '&lt;/p>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag placed on the right side of the entire result.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Customizing the First Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['first_link'] = 'First';</h4>
+<p>The text you would like shown in the "first" link on the left.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['first_tag_open'] = '&lt;div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "first" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['first_tag_close'] = '&lt/div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "first" link.</p>
+
+<h2>Customizing the Last Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['last_link'] = 'Last';</h4>
+<p>The text you would like shown in the "last" link on the right.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['last_tag_open'] = '&lt;div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "last" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['last_tag_close'] = '&lt/div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "last" link.</p>
+
+<h2>Customizing the "Next" Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['next_link'] = '&amp;gt';</h4>
+<p>The text you would like shown in the "next" page link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['next_tag_open'] = '&lt;div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "next" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['next_tag_close'] = '&lt/div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "next" link.</p>
+
+<h2>Customizing the "Previous" Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['prev_link'] = '&amp;lt';</h4>
+<p>The text you would like shown in the "previous" page link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['prev_tag_open'] = '&lt;div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "previous" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['prev_tag_close'] = '&lt/div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "previous" link.</p>
+
+<h2>Customizing the "Current Page" Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['cur_tag_open'] = '&lt;b>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "current" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['cur_tag_close'] = '&lt/b>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "current" link.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Customizing the "Digit" Link</h2>
+
+<h4>$config['num_tag_open'] = '&lt;div>';</h4>
+<p>The opening tag for the "digit" link.</p>
+
+<h4>$config['num_tag_close'] = '&lt/div>';</h4>
+<p>The closing tag for the "digit" link.</p>
+
+
+
+</div>
