Text Formatting

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?

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?
