General ⇒ hyperref and cite

[meena]

Hi,

I am writing my theis and I want to create hyperref for the sections, figures, etc., Other than citations hyperref works for sections, figures... I googled enough to solve the problem, but all in vain. This is how my permeable looks like

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{a4wide, graphicx, textcomp, cite}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix} 
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[style=super,header=plain,number=none,border=none,cols=2,hypertoc=true,
hyper=true]{glossary}
\usepackage[pagebackref=true,pdfauthor={Meena}]{hyperref}
\usepackage{cite}
\makeglossary
\setlength{\descriptionwidth}{0.8\textwidth}
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}

\pagestyle{fancy}

Am I doing something wrong here? Please somebody help me!!

Thanks in advance,

Meena

The hyperref package apart from only a few exceptions should be loaded as the very last package.

Hi Thorsten,

I tried that too, didn't work out

Hi meena,

your problem comes (as localghost suggested) from the order in which you are loading the packages. Please notice that you load the cite package twice: the first time, before hyperref, in this line:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{a4wide, graphicx, textcomp, cite}

and the second time, after hyperref, in this line:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{cite}

The cite package must be loaded after hyperref. Thus, to solve your problem, suppress the cite package from the list of the first line that I mentioned; i.e., use

Code: Select all

\usepackage{a4wide, graphicx, textcomp}

and then load hyperref and cite in the following order:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[pagebackref=true,pdfauthor={Meena}]{hyperref}
\usepackage{cite}

By the way, the a4wide package is obsolete and shouldn't be used anymore. The l2tabu document contains useful information about this and some other obsolete packages/commands.

Hi gmedina,

Thanks a lot I did not realize that I was loading the cite package twice. Thank you for the suggestions (a4wide) too.

Hi,

When I use the hyperref and cite package, the citations are no longer compressed

e.g. instead of 1-4 it appear as 1,2,3,4.

Is it normal? Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks in advance

A complete and compilable minimal working example (MWE) would be very helpful to see the problem.

Hi,

I attached an example source file and the output file. I have a separate bib file which I could not load here. In the output file, citations look like this [1,2,3] but I want [1-3].

Any suggestions

Thanks in advance

It doesn't work for me either with cite. But it works with natbib. See the MWE below.
