Adding First and Last Links to Ditto Pagination

Ordinary numbered pagination works, but long listings often benefit from explicit “first” and “last” links. This small Ditto + PHx pattern added exactly that without needing a dedicated package.

Example idea

[+phx:if=`[+news_currentPage+]`:is=`1`:then=``:else=`<a href="/novosti?news_start=0">First</a>`+]

[+phx:if=`[+news_currentPage+]`:is=`[+news_totalPages+]`:then=``:else=`<a href="/novosti?news_start=[+phx:math=`[+news_totalPages+]-1`+]0">Last</a>`+]

Why it belongs in the archive

This is a modest tweak, but it reflects a very common Evo workflow: refine existing snippet output with a small amount of PHx logic instead of waiting for one more package release.

Why this belongs in the timeline

Pagination polish was one of the places where teams kept refining the default snippet behavior. These small UX improvements add up to a much more usable archive of real project patterns.
