IEEEtran | Compress List of Citations

Post by mmutoo »

Hi all,

I am using the ieeetran.bst style for my bibliography in an ieeetran class file. I was wondering if there is a way to compress the list of citations. For example, let say we have a reference list like 1,2,3,6. Normally it appears like [1],[2],[3],[6]. But I want it to be like [1-3,6]. Is there any trick that helps?

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Try the cite package and note the remarks in Section VII of the IEEEtran manual.

Many thanks localghost! I have another question. I have used cite package and it works, but partially! For example references [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[13] become [1]-[5,13] while I need it to be [1-5,13]. Any idea?
