Hi,
I am citing several references at one position in my document and I was wondering if there is a way to get something like "[1, 3, 9 - 11]" instead of "[1] [3] [9] [10] [11]" (what I would get by using "\cite[ref1] \cite[ref3] \cite[ref9] ..."). Unfortunately I can't find some deeper information about \cite or \setupcite. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
I'm rewriting the bibtex code (which is boring as I have to figure out what it's about, even more as most bib test files are a mess.
For the moment it will run alongside the traditional mechanism but the new one will have a compatibility mode at some point; some characteristics:
- multiple bibtex sessions and mixed styles in one document - extensive filtering of entries (using the xml subsystem) - a different method to set up the styles (apa etc) - a bit of tracing - access to the full database (or multiple databases) - no more need for the bibtex program - new functionality demanding on user input
I got a first version working but as I don't use bibliographies myself it needs a bit of motivation to finish it soon. I'll probably ask others to prepare the other styles but first I need to clean up some rough edges.
If the internal mechanism is using XML, then CSL can be used for styles. http://citationstyles.org/ (I don't know much about it other than the fact that it exists and is used by Zotero) Aditya
