+++ title = "Pagination" weight = 30 +++ Two things can get paginated: a section and a taxonomy term. Both kinds get a `paginator` variable of the `Pager` type, on top of the common variables mentioned in the [overview page](@/documentation/templates/overview.md): ```ts // How many items per pager paginate_by: Number; // The base URL for the pagination: section permalink + pagination path // You can concatenate an integer with that to get a link to a given pagination pager. base_url: String; // How many pagers in total number_pagers: Number; // Permalink to the first pager first: String; // Permalink to the last pager last: String; // Permalink to the previous pager, if there is one previous: String?; // Permalink to the next pager, if there is one next: String?; // All pages for the current pager pages: Array; // Which pager are we on current_index: Number; // Total number of pages across all the pagers total_pages: Number; ``` **The variable will not be defined if `paginate_by` is not set to a positive number.** A pager is a page of the pagination; if you have 100 pages and paginate_by is set to 10, you will have 10 pagers each containing 10 pages. ## Section A paginated section gets the same `section` variable as a normal [section page](@/documentation/templates/pages-sections.md#section-variables) minus its pages. The pages are instead in `paginator.pages`. ## Taxonomy term A paginated taxonomy gets two variables aside from the `paginator` variable: - a `taxonomy` variable of type `TaxonomyConfig` - a `term` variable of type `TaxonomyTerm`. See the [taxonomies page](@/documentation/templates/taxonomies.md) for a detailed version of the types. ## Example Here is an example from a theme on how to use pagination on a page (`index.html` in this case): ```jinja2

{% for page in paginator.pages %}
