Inconsistent citation styles

[stefan]

This has been discussed before and automatic merging during formatting of the citations is something we might address in the future.

The inconsistent behaviour when citations are inserted is unfortunately not something we can fix. For technical reasons, we simple don’t know what’s left or right when we insert a citation. So if you are on a citation it will be added correctly, if you are one position next to a citation a new citation will be inserted.

Merging consecutive citations

Is there an easy way to merge consecutive citations? TASK: I have citations like this: [1][2] and would like to convert them to [1-2]. THe only way I know is to edit one of them and reinsert the citation. It would be nice to be able to merge the citations automatically simply by placing them next to each other and re-formatting the citations in the whole document - this is how other citation managers do this, like Endnote.
