+Custom pagination templates
+---------------------------
+
+In order to override the default pagination template, declare a context variable 
+named ``pagination_template`` set to the template name::
+
+    {% with 'pagination/blog/post.html' as pagination_template %}
+        {% autopaginate posts pagesize %}
+        {% paginate %}
+    {% endwith %}
+
+The default pagination template is contained in the ``pagination/default.html`` 
+file inside the distribution.
