article.7 All you have to do is7 write {loadposition position-14} in the space7 where the modules should

<pre>
if ($number > 0)
{
echo $number;
}
else{
$number++;
}
</pre>

The Pagebreak plug-in takes care of pagebreaks in articles. Just like the Image plug-in, it is easy to
integrate into the content. Besides a simple pagebreak, various headers and page titles can also be
defined. You can set pagebreaks using the pagebreak dialog. The page break will be displayed in the text
window as a simple horizontal line. In the HTML code, the pagebreak looks like this:
<hr title="Page Title" alt="Table of Contents Alias" class="system-pagebreak" />
