Page Finder

This module detects which links inside a page are pagination links. It works by manually marking inside a web page at least one link as a pagination link. The algorithm then uses label propagation and a gaussian kernel with Levenshtein edit distance as a measure of similarity to determine which other links are pagination links. There is a small demo included to show you how to use and test it.
