Pagination 101

Article by Faruk Ateş, [originally on KuraFire.net][original] which is currently down

One of the most commonly overlooked and under-refined elements of a website is its pagination controls. In many cases, these are treated as an afterthought. I rarely come across a website that has decent pagination, and it always makes me wonder why so few manage to get it right. After all, I'd say that pagination is pretty easy to get right. Alas, that doesn't seem the case, so after encouragement from Chris Messina on Flickr I decided to write my Pagination 101, hopefully it'll give you some clues as to what makes good pagination.

Before going into analyzing good and bad pagination, I want to explain just what I consider to be pagination: Pagination is any kind of control system that lets the user browse through pages of search results, archives, or any other kind of continued content. Search results are the o

""" Convert values between RGB hex codes and xterm-256 color codes.

Nice long listing of all 256 colors and their codes. Useful for
developing console color themes, or even script output schemes.

1. Right-click on iA Writer.app in your Applications folder, select "Show Package Contents"
2. Open up Resources/English.lproj/htmlTemplate.html in your favorite text editor
3. Add a link to a CSS file in your home directory (and anything else you might want). I put mine in ~/Library/Application Support/iA Writer/themes/policus/css/styles.css and decided to load a couple of web fonts from Google. See hacked-htmlTemplate.html later this gist.
4. Save, exit
5. Create the CSS file, override default Writer styles

Now when you export to HTML from inside of Writer, your HTML file will be styled according to your your overrides. Want to share your pretty docs? Print to PDF.

Next steps: Link to a locally-hosted jQuery and write a little JS app for switching themes in browser.

Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Step 1:

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)
