How to Control Number of Articles on Secondary Pages

So I am in the home stretch with the site but there are still a few outstanding issues.

I would like the homepage to have 3 articles (or so) – so I have txp:article limit=“3” for the default page and txp:article limit=“1” for the archive page.

What I would like to have happen is have 3 articles on the homepage, but if you click on “Previous/Next” (at the bottom of the page) the page=2 and so on – I want those pages to just have a single article. Right now the secondary pages will list 3 (or how ever many are left 3 or less) articles as you can see here:

Homepage

Second/secondary page

Any ideas on approaches to to this would be welcome – I went through all of textbook, but didn’t find anything that seemed to do the trick, but of course it could have been right there and I missed it.

Thanks.

Can the previous/next links link to the archive pages instead of to listing pages?

<txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next>

<txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev>

Make use of the pageby attribute.

Textbook: article
