In addition, as pages likely have more than one such navigation section, it’s
advisable to provide a descriptive aria-label for the
<nav> to reflect its purpose. For example, if the pagination
component is used to navigate between a set of search results, an appropriate label
could be aria-label="Search results pages".
Pagination links are customizable for different circumstances. Use
.disabled for links that appear un-clickable and .active
to indicate the current page.
While the .disabled class uses pointer-events: none to
try to disable the link functionality of <a>s, that CSS
property is not yet standardized and doesn’t account for keyboard navigation. As
such, you should always add tabindex="-1" on disabled links and use
custom JavaScript to fully disable their functionality.
You can optionally swap out active or disabled anchors for <span>,
or omit the anchor in the case of the prev/next arrows, to remove click
functionality and prevent keyboard focus while retaining intended styles.

Looking to use an icon or symbol in place of text for some pagination links? Be sure
to provide proper screen reader support with aria attributes.
Fancy larger or smaller pagination? Add .pagination-lg or
.pagination-sm for additional sizes.
