 The `.disabled` class uses `pointer-events: none` to try to disable the link functionality of `<a>`s, but that CSS property is not yet standardized. In addition, even in browsers that do support `pointer-events: none`, keyboard navigation remains unaffected, meaning that sighted keyboard users and users of assistive technologies will still be able to activate these links. So to be safe, add a `tabindex="-1"` attribute on these links (to prevent them from receiving keyboard focus) and use custom JavaScript to disable their functionality.

-## Pager
-
-Quick previous and next links for simple pagination implementations with light markup and styles. It's great for simple sites like blogs or magazines.
-
-### Default example
-
-By default, the pager centers links.
-
-{% example html %}
-<nav>
-  <ul class="pager">
-    <li><a href="#">Previous</a></li>
-    <li><a href="#">Next</a></li>
-  </ul>
-</nav>
-{% endexample %}
-
-### Aligned links
-
-Alternatively, you can align each link to the sides:
-
-{% example html %}
-<nav>
-  <ul class="pager">
-    <li class="pager-prev"><a href="#">Older</a></li>
-    <li class="pager-next"><a href="#">Newer</a></li>
-  </ul>
-</nav>
-{% endexample %}
-
-
-### Optional disabled state
-
-Pager links also support the `.disabled` class (though note that the same advice about keyboard focus as for the default pagination applies here as well).
-
-{% example html %}
-<nav>
-  <ul class="pager">
-    <li class="pager-prev disabled"><a href="#" tabindex="-1">Older</a></li>
-    <li class="pager-next"><a href="#">Newer</a></li>
-  </ul>
