[Pagination] is the process of splitting a list page into two or more pagers, where each pager contains a subset of the page collection and navigation links to other pagers. The number of elements on each pager is determined by the value of the `paginate` setting in your site configuration. The default value is `10`.
You can invoke pagination on the home page template, [`section`] templates, [`taxonomy`] templates, and [`term`] templates. Each of these receive a collection of regular pages in [context]. When you invoke the `Paginator` method, it paginates the page collection received in context.
{{< code file=layouts/_default/list.html >}}
{{ range .Paginator.Pages }}
<h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
{{ end }}
{{ template "_internal/pagination.html" . }}
{{< /code >}}
In the example above, the internal "pagination" template creates the navigation links between pagers.

Although simple to invoke, with the `Paginator` method you can neither filter nor sort the page collection. It acts upon the page collection received in context.
The [`Paginate`] method is more flexible, and strongly recommended.

Please note that the results of pagination are cached. Once you have invoked either the `Paginator` or `Paginate` method, the paginated collection is immutable. Additional invocations of these methods will have no effect.
