JT Page Rail is a lightweight Joomla! system plugin that improves the presentation of Joomla’s native Page Break Article Index.

Instead of showing the default Article Index box inside the article content, JT Page Rail moves it into a compact right-side rail panel. This creates a cleaner reading layout for long articles while keeping Joomla’s original Page Break workflow intact.

The plugin is designed for Joomla! 5 and Joomla! 6, uses Joomla Web Asset Manager for frontend assets, and works well with Bootstrap 5 based templates, including Cassiopeia.

JT Page Rail does not replace Joomla’s Page Break feature. It enhances the frontend display of the existing core Article Index output.
