Break down a large blog entry into pieces

I have a large blog entry that I think would be be presented in parts say page 1, page 2, page 3

Is there a way to link to these parts in the markdown section or perhaps to next, previous.

This seems to be relevant but not so sure what the ~~~~~ indicates

Other ideas are fine. including topics which I have never used.

I made a shortcode as such. Or maybe it came with the default package. not sure.

<a href="{{config.base_url}}/{{path}}">{{text}}</a>

It works but wouldnt mind another suggestion. As what does that ~~~~~ do in fact
