I know next to nothing about citations in general, so please bear with me: if multi-cite support means being able to condense citations (e.g. [1-3, 5, 9]), then bibtex can do at least some of that (e.g. http://texblog.org/2007/05/28/mulitple-reference-citation/). > Also, I don't know how easy it would be to capture the other > features of citations (e.g., the in-text vs. parenthetical distinction) > without relying on a package like natbib.
