General ⇒ Citation of references problem

[pallav]

I write the bibliography in the following style:

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{}
\bibitem{RefJ} Hethcote, H.W., Wang, W., Han, L., et al.: A predator–prey
model with infected prey. Theor. Popul. Biol. 66, 259–268
(2004)
\bibitem{RefB} Shi, R., Chen, L.: The study of a ratio-dependent predator–
prey model with stage structure in the prey. Nonlinear Dyn.
58, 443–451 (2009)
\end{thebibliography}

and I cite them as \cite{RefJ,RefB}.
For an example, I got a pdf where the reference citation is as follows:

[13,14,15,16,17,18,19,25]

But I need the citation style as

[13-19,25]

Please help me in details so that I can get it. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

add this to the preamble of your document:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[compress]{cite}

[pallav]

Thanks, its works. Without [compress] it also works. What is the difference of using

Code: Select all

\usepackage{cite}

and

Code: Select all

\usepackage[compress]{cite}

Thank you again.

You're welcome. There's no difference; the compress option is executed by default.

P.S.: on a side note, this subforum (LaTeX community->General) is not for LaTeX-related issues; your question belongs to LaTeX->General; some Moderator will surely move it.
