Pagination in pages (not posts) with the twentythirteen theme?

I wrote a very long page with a lot of content and would like to add a pagination to make it more readable. I added in the texteditor several !–-nextpage–- but it doesn't create any pagination, although in the default twentythirteen page template the wp_link_pages function is called

?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' = 'div class="page-links"span class="page-links-title"' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentythirteen' ) . '/span', 'after' = '/div', 'link_before' = 'span', 'link_after' = '/span' ) ); ?

I'm using a child theme with little customizations but I also can't get it to work with the default twentythirteen theme with no child theme and customizations. How can I get a pagination on my page?

This might work.

1.Open your page.php (or some other custom-page-template.php in which you want to make it work)

2.look for the line where you see

<?php the_content(); ?>

3.Insert 

<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

on the very next line like this

<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

4.Go back to your editor and refresh the preview.

5.Now if its working just publish the page!

If you want to configure it visit the codex page here
