   Hey all,

   I'm pulling Page content into the top of a category template. it's working fine, except that this particular Page is broken up into sections with <!--nextpage-->. In the Page itself, it's working as it should - paginating each section. But on the Category page, it's not paginating - it's showing ALL of the page content at once.

   I don't need pagination for the Page content sections, but I do just want to pull the Page content for the *first* Page into the top of the category page.

   I know - sounds confusing. But I hope I'm being clear enough.

   Does anyone know how to pull just the first part of the Page content (chopping it off at the first <!--nextpage-->) into the category template?

   What I have for my category.php file is this:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
   
       <div id="outerwrap" class="clear">
       <h3>Category title here</h3>
   
   	<?php if(is_category('dogs')) { ?>
   
         <div <?php post_class('clear') ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
           <div class="entry clear">
   	    <?php $dogs = get_page_by_title('Page name here');
   	    	  $dogsID = $dogs->ID;
   	    	  $dogs = get_page($dogsID);
   	          $dogscontent = apply_filters('the_content', $dogs->post_content);
   	          echo $dogscontent;
   	    ?>
   	    <!--/entry-->
   	    </div>
   
   	  <!--/post-<?php the_ID(); ?>-->
   	  </div>
   
   <?php } ?>

   You can see, when it echoes "$dogscontent", there's nothing I can find that will paginate said content. Anyone know what I'm missing?

   Thanks!

   Heh. Nevermind - I figured it out.

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
   
       <div id="outerwrap" class="clear">
       <h3>Category title here</h3>
   
   	<?php if(is_category('dogs')) { ?>
   
         <div <?php post_class('clear') ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
           <div class="entry clear">
   	    <?php $dogs = get_page_by_title('Page name here');
   	    	  $dogsID = $dogs->ID;
   	    	  $dogs = get_page($dogsID);
   	          $content = $dogs->post_content;
   	  	  list($first) = explode('<!--nextpage-->', $content);
   	          $dogscontent = apply_filters('the_content', $first);
   	          echo $dogscontent;
   	    ?>
   	    <!--/entry-->
   	    </div>
   
   	  <!--/post-<?php the_ID(); ?>-->
   	  </div>
   
   <?php } ?>

   Maybe that'll help someone else :)
