Paging can be controlled by passing parameters to :

paging_startlinks => always show # links at the beginning
paging_endlinks => always show # links at the end
paging_slidelength => length of sliding window

Example:
96 pages, startlinks 3, endlinks 1, slidelength 5

page 1 shows: 1,2,3,4,5,..,96
page 8 shows: 1,2,3,..,6,7,8,9,10,..,96
