\in{figure}[alpha,beta,gamma]
This outputs “figure 1”. What I'd like to have is “figure 1-3”.
The attached quasi-module seems to do it! On my computer, at least. (I call it 'quasi' because it is really nothing more than code in a file of its own.No configurability whatsoever, except to the extent that I tried to comment well, and split things up into functions.) I'd have written it so that it properly identifies runs like '1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3', too, but I can't find a function that will turn reference strings into such a prefixed strings.
I hope it does what you want! Let me know if you want/need any alterations, or discover bugs.
Thanks a lot for that. I'd adjust the interface, so that it matches the behaviour of \in: \def\inrange {\dodoublegroupempty\doinrange} \def\doinrange#left#right#dummy[#label] {\iffirstargument {#left }%% \fi \ctxlua{userdata.inwithranges("#label")}%% \ifsecondargument {#right}%% \fi} Then you can write: See \inrange{figures} [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h] See \inrange{figures}{TT} [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h] See \inrange [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h] Maybe worth mentioning: You need the additional module `showtable.lua` from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/78336 Marco
