 Hi,

 I am citing several references at one position in my document and I was
 wondering if there is a way to get something like "[1, 3, 9 - 11]" instead
 of
 "[1] [3] [9] [10] [11]" (what I would get by using "\cite[ref1]
 \cite[ref3]
 \cite[ref9] ..."). Unfortunately I can't find some deeper information
 about
 \cite or \setupcite. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I'm rewriting the bibtex code (which is boring as I have to figure out what it's about, even more as most bib test files are a mess.

For the moment it will run alongside the traditional mechanism but the new one will have a compatibility mode at some point; some characteristics:

- multiple bibtex sessions and mixed styles in one document
- extensive filtering of entries (using the xml subsystem)
- a different method to set up the styles (apa etc)
- a bit of tracing
- access to the full database (or multiple databases)
- no more need for the bibtex program
- new functionality demanding on user input

I got a first version working but as I don't use bibliographies myself it needs a bit of motivation to finish it soon. I'll probably ask others to prepare the other styles but first I need to clean up some rough edges.

If the internal mechanism is using XML, then CSL can be used for styles. http://citationstyles.org/

(I don't know much about it other than the fact that it exists and is used by Zotero)
