Hi;
I want to have a reference to appear in my pdf as [1, 2, 3]. I tried to use in latex \cite{,,,}, but it always give me [1] [2] [3], please inform the right way.

Thanks

Citing references separated by comma should yield the desired result.

Code: Select all

\cite{ref1,ref2,ref3}

Please provide a minimal working example (MWE) that shows the undesired behaviour.

Best regards

Hi;
Thanks for the follow up. I already did what you said but it is not working. Can you please have a look at this simple latex file. It generates [][][] while I wrote in latex \cite{,,,}

Thanks in advance

Seems to be a redefinition by the IEEEtran class. This is done to fulfil the demands of the IEEE. Refer to Section VII (Citations, p. 6f) of the documentation. There you will find a solution to compress multiple citations and get the default behaviour.
