Without further useful information, it's hard to provide the exact solution; if you are not loading natbib, then you could use the cite package; if you are using natbib it's enough to load it with the sort&compress
option.

i am using bibtex and LEd for editting.

can you please show how can i use this 'compress' option?

thx

i have also included
\usepackage{citeref}

compressing should be set per defaulf, but somehow it does not compress my citations

We'll need a minimal working example showing the packages and settings relevant to the creation of the bibliography.

here the code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage[OT4]{fontenc}
\usepackage[cp1250]{inputenc}
\usepackage{citeref}
\begin{document}
blablabla
\cite{item1, item2, item3, item4}
blablabla
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\small\bibliography{PhD}
\end{document}

Reading the documentation for citeref, I noticed that the only purpose of this package is to add reference-page-list to bibliography-items and not to compress the lists of citations. To compress this list, you need to load some other package (like cite); however, loading the cite package in your example code produces compilation errors.

An alternative would be to use the backref package instead of the citeref package (to add the reference-page-list to the bibliography) together with the cite package to sort and compress the list of citations:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage[OT4]{fontenc}
\usepackage[cp1250]{inputenc}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[pageref]{backref}
\begin{document}
blablabla
\cite{item1,item2,item2,item4}

blablabla
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\small\bibliography{PhD}
\end{document}

it does not work at all for me.
I have included the natbib package and solved the problem.

Thx
