Basic Pagination
If you have a web site with lots of pages, you may wish to add some sort of pagination to each page.
A basic pagination in Bootstrap looks like this:
To create a basic pagination, add the .pagination
class to an <ul>
element:
Example
<ul class="pagination">
<li><a href="#">1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">5</a></li>
</ul>

Active State
The active state shows what is the current page:
Add class .active
to let the user know which page he/she is on:
Example
<ul class="pagination">
<li><a href="#">1</a></li>
<li class="active"><a href="#">2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">5</a></li>
</ul>

Disabled State
A disabled link cannot be clicked:
Add class .disabled
if a link for some reason is disabled:
Example
<ul class="pagination">
<li><a href="#">1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">3</a></li>
<li class="disabled"><a href="#">4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">5</a></li>
</ul>

<li><a href="#">1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">4</a></li>

Breadcrumbs
Another form for pagination, is breadcrumbs:
The .breadcrumb
class indicates the current page's location within a
navigational hierarchy:
Example
<ul class="breadcrumb">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Private</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Pictures</a></li>
<li class="active">Vacation</li>
</ul>
