# Multiple page post navigation

 * I am new to WordPress but an experienced programmer.
    I am attempting to use 
   posts rather than static pages for a series of ‘how to’ technical guides. The
   guides are long, maybe 10 pages each. The crux of the problem is how to achieve
   user friendly navigation within these long technical guides.
 * I want to break the posts into a number of pages with navigation via a drop down
   using named titles, next and previous buttons.
    In the future it would be great
   to add:- – A table of contents would allow a user to jump back in and use the
   guide as a technical reference – Tabs which could hold comments, reviews & parts
   list (the guides pages would remain on the first tab)
 * “Multi page Toolkit” will break a post into multiple pages but the “Page Title”
   feature does not work for me. Also some have remarked that the Plugin is poorly
   designed.
 * How would I go about breaking the article into multiple pages with drop down 
   sub-post-page title navigation, next & previous?
 * As a secondary question, it seems to me that I could easily break the guides 
   down using static top level and child pages.
    It would then be relatively easy
   to construct a navigation drop down from a subpage query. Please help me tune
   into the ‘use a post’ way of thinking, if applicable!

 * I do not understand the question.
    The posts will be catagorised. I could create
   a custom post type and a template. How does that help section a post?
 * I could split a large post into many smaller posts but that does not seem right
   as the ‘how to’ is one piece. Also may make the job of rating the how too harder.
