Citing a range of papers (using numeric keys)?

I am using the package bibentry and the \cite command to include numerical references to a bibliography. If one cites multiple consecutive references, the series is displayed as a comma separated list (e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]). Is it possible to have such a list displayed using only the first and last references in the series, separated by a hyphen or en-dash (e.g., [1--8])? Preferably, this method would also work with lists that comprise consecutive and non-consecutive elements (e.g, [1, 3, 4, 5] would become [1, 3--5]).

Here is an MWE demonstrating inability to hyphenate a series of references with bibentry: enter image description here

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{bibentry}
    \begin{document}
    Accumulating evidence indicates that the Earth is round~\cite{ref1,ref2,ref3}.
    \bibliographystyle{unsrt}
    \bibliography{refs}
    \end{document}

The bibentry source files are included in the natbib package, but it is not mentioned in the pdf documentation files.

  • The related discussion indicates that this is possible with cite, biblatex, and natbib packages. By referring me to that discussion, do you imply that this is not possible with the bibentry package? – user001 Dec 30 '11 at 19:40
  • bibentry is "distributed as part of the natbib bundle" and should therefore work. If not, edit your post and update it to show the difference(s) and flag the post for moderator attention to request it be re-opened. – Werner Dec 30 '11 at 20:21
  • @user001 Have you actually tried using natbib or cite to solve the problem? As bibentry is part of natbib, I suspect the latter will work fine. – Joseph Wright Dec 31 '11 at 09:13
  • user001: Could you please provide more information as requested by @JosephWright, so we can decide about your re-opening request. Thanks. – Martin Scharrer Jan 09 '12 at 11:34
