I have a number of references and I'd like to cite them in a multiple selection. As they are 12, I'd like them to appear as [12-24] and not [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and so on]. 

\cite{firstone, secondone, thirdone}

I read that the \cite module can't manage this but I don't want to use the BibLateX ambient. Thanks in advance.

  • Have a look at cite package.

    May I suggest you substitute the word range for hyphen in the title? The reason is that there's some "ambiguity" as some citations use a rule (may be interpreted as a hyphen) for repeated author lists in the bibliography.

There are couple of solutions for your question. The easiest is probably cite.sty:

The cite package modifies LATEX’s normal citation mechanism for improved handling of numeric citations. It provides compressed, sorted lists of numerical or partly-numerical citations, as regular text or as superscripts. Generally, no changes to the usage of \cite commands in the input are required.
