Super Page
The Super Page plugin for Movable Type was created in support of Movable Type's documentation effort. The basic need was this:
- convert a single, massive page into a set of paginated, easy to navigate pages broken up by chapter/section. This plugin solves that problem by allowing authors to flag a regular Movable Type page as a "Super Page." When that page is saved, the plugin will automatically partition it into multiple pages and generate a table of contents for the Super Page. The plugin also makes available a set of template tags that allow you to construct next page and previous page links for all of the child pages derived from the parent Super Page. Each "child page" is delineated by a HTML header.

Nice work, but this could use more detail to how it is setup (do you have to use a specific text formatting engine? what does it break on?) and how the system manages the renaming and deletion of sections (does it rename or delete the page object for you?).

@Timothy Appnel - thank you so much for that feedback. I have updated the documentation for the plugin with a section called "How It Works" in attempt to answer your questions.
