Pagination on custom admin page

[neonwired]

i'm trying to use the pager on a custom admin page, it renders ok but the page doesn't seem to get the page numbers. Input is empty.

Do you mean MarkupPagerNav? I never tried to use this inside a custom admin page, I'm not even sure it's supposed to work in the backend too.

Looking at the docs (filed under "frontend")... did you do step 2?

Enabling Pagination
Determine what template(s) you want to use pagination with. Go to Admin > Setup > Templates > [Your Template] > URLs, and check the box for: Allow Page Numbers. Save.

Most likely, your template is "admin" (?), so I'm not sure if this possible at all.
