I love your honesty “I won’t elaborate on, because I believe that any type of article pagination results in an awful user experience.” … made me laugh (in a good way)… however, I respect it and will think about it and read the article on the link you sent.
Thank you for your time ??
I appreciate that. I do like to provide pragmatic advice, even if it means not answering the original question directly. I’m glad you didn’t take it the wrong way. ??
It sounds like the articles are really long. So long that it might be difficult for the reader to find a stopping place. In that case, I suppose it would be all right to use <!--nextpage-->
tags to break them up into smaller chunks.
However, it would be best if this wasn’t “adaptive” at all. Consider if somebody bookmarks one page on a desktop, and wants to keep reading on a mobile phone. If the page numbers were variable depending on screen width, it would make more complicated for the reader to pick up where they left off.
Hope this makes sense!
