General ⇒ about citation format

[guorong]

Hi everyone. I am a fresh new user of TeXnicCenter. I had a problem with citation.

Then the pdf file has the following format, for example:

1) "...from previous work [1, 2, 3]".
I hope to make it "[1-3]" instead of "[1,2,3]"
the following is the Code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[pdftex]{color,graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\baselineskip18pt
\section{some information about phenol}
The figure 2 is the PES from previous work \cite{1,2,3}
\clearpage
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{1} paper 1.
\bibitem{2} paper 2.
\bibitem{3} paper 3.
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

Just load the mciteplus package. Refer to its documentation to learn more.

Erm, not mciteplus in this case (although it is very good). For standard bibliography styles, see the package "cite", or you can use natbib or biblatex with appropriate styles.

Thank you two! I solved the problem by "cite" package.

I also tried the "mciteplus" package, I had a few error, I could not solve them, then I gave it up.

You have a great day!
