combining references to several targets
Hi, say that I have four tables with lables tab:A ... tab:D. Now, I would like to say something like \in{Tables}[tab:A,tab:B,tab:C,tab:D] and the output should be "Tables 2, 7-9". How can this be done? Greetings, -- Eckhart

Of course, this solution works, but it can easily break. So there is no automatic sorting and combining? If I don't know that table B--D have continuous numbers, or if this changes in the course of writing, those references will become wrong. -- Eckhart

implementing this is not complex, but the tricky part is in the prefixes (1.4, 2.5) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Not complex... ;-) I admit that I didn't think of prefixes since I never used them so far. Anyway, I think this would be a very useful feature, even if some restrictions concerning prefixes had to be accepted. If you have the opportunity to implement it sometime - great. -- Eckhart
