When I insert two successive references such as 1 and 2, X3 could not format as [1,2] but [1-2] in numbered style, and I need a comma instead of a hyphen between the successive references, X2 can do this. Is it a bug of X3? Any suggestion? Thank you!
Can you check:
Edit>Output styles>Edit “your style”>Citations>Numbering> Use ranges for consecutive citation
Change this option checked or unchecked, and see the results?
Thanks myoshigi!
When I uncheck this, [1-2] did change to [1,2], but some other unexpected results occured, the original corrected result [3-8] became [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], how can I obtain [1,2] and [3-8] simultaneously?
This problem has’t not been solved, I click the wrong hyperlin.
I checked the style options, but I don’t think EN X3 can do that. I can’t remember X2 was able to do that, wasn’t it?
To be honest, I’ve never paid attention to this until you pointed out. I just thought 1-2 was just fine. If it’s not, probably publishing editors have taken care of? I usually submit manuscript with a bibliography just endnote can do, and wait until publisher says something, after it is accepted. Until then, even I notice small differences between authors instructions and endnote format, I just ignore them because the manuscript has to be accepted first. I know saying this to you doesn’t solve your problem, but EN has stopped me writing when I was paying too much attention to the details of bibliography formatting.
In fact, in En x2, I can format the bibliography like [1,2] and [3-8] but x3 can’t.
Thank you anyway
Hello,
