General ⇒ cite with brackets, not superscript

[CoolnessItself]

I have a bibliography style which adds a superscript number to reference a citation by default. I'm abiding by that, but I'd like to also say something like "In [2,5], this happens" in a few places. Is there a way to force a bracket notation with \cite?

Which LaTeX package are you using for superscript citations? cite, natbib, biblatex, ...?

[CoolnessItself]

Not sure. I just specify a bibliographystyle and bibliography{file}. I don't have any other usepackages or anything. How do I find out?

[josephwright]

The bibliography style cannot make the citations superscript, so you must have something else going on. Please post a full working example.

\documentclass{aiaa-tc} %maybe this?
\begin{document}

Wowzers!!!\cite{Erdos01}

\begin{thebibliography}{9}

\bibitem{Erdos01} P. Erd\H os, \emph{A selection of problems and
results in combinatorics}, Recent trends in combinatorics (Matrahaza,
1995), Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, 2001, pp. 1--6.

\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

\documentclass{aiaa-tc} %maybe this?...

Yes. If you replace the aiaa-tc document class with article, for example, the superscripts disappear. You should try contacting the author of that class.

The reason for this kind of formatting is that the class uses the overcite package (see README) from the cite bundle. This package is a wrapper for the cite package and calls it with a certain option.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[superscript]{cite}
