Pages with custom names

    Is there a way to have custom page names, using the <!--nextpage--> tag? I mean to replace the default numbering 1,2,3,... with different descriptions of post "chapters": Intro, sub-topic 1, sub-topic 2, ...
    Blog address is extendedreality.wordpress.com
    No paginated post yet, so nothing to look at for the moment.

    The blog I need help with is extendedreality.wordpress.com.

    Can we slit content in posts using the <!--nextpage--> tag? The answer is yes. See the support docs for all methods of splitting content here.

    I am not clear about what you mean by changing of the default numbering though. If you wish to you can organize you blog like a book.

    I am not clear on what you mean by "pages with custom names". See > Pages and custom menu.

    Thanks for reply. I had the doubt my request was not clear enough, though.
    The usage of <!--nextpage--> was clear to me and I find it very useful, along with "read more" and the other ways to split contents, as you suggested.
    Plainly said: if you use the <!--nextpage--> tag you have a "Page: 1 2 ..." at the bottom of the post.
    But what if I want to have a "Page: Intro Topic1 Topic2 ..." instead of standard numbering? Is there a way to get it? This means, again, replacing numbers with custom descriptions of post pages.
    I'd apply this, if possible, to single posts, not the whole blog.

    I don't believe that's possible on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. Staff will be able to provide a definitive answer so I'll flag this thread for their attention.

    P.S. I apologize, in advance, if I am wrong and it is possible to edit the page numbering.

    Unfortunately, this level of customization cannot be accomplished on a WordPress.com blog.

    @macmanx
    Thanks for the confirmation.

    Thanks for replies to all of you.
    I guess I will use some "href" trick in combination with pagination to achieve this result. More or less...
    Thanks again.
