Text Formatting

Hi,

I'm trying to cite many references at the beginning of a report and want them to appear as [1-5]. I read that Latex should automatically identify consecutively number references and do this for you, although when I list: \cite{ref1,ref2,ref3,ref4,ref5} the output appears as [1,2,3,4,5].

Is there a way I can force Latex to present them as a range please?

Thanks,
R_i_W

Load the 'cite' package.
