Regardless of the taste etc. How would you represent this in latex?
ie \cite{citekey1,citekey2} is processed as two separate citations,
leading to two separate bibitems. I suppose you could tweak the
bibtex engine (and create a style file without a title), but you'd
need to come up with an 'in-text' representation that distinguished
between [1],[2] and [1] --> two articles.
maybe there is something like \citemerge{citekey1,citekey2} in one of
the alternative citation packages like biblatex, jurabib (doubt it).
Certainly there isn't in natbib.
Hell I dislike citation styles that abbreviate people's first names,
so I needn't say anything further on the wisdom of this (don't you
like to know how many articles backup a point? Whoops, couldn't help
myself!).
Anyway the physics community always seems pretty resourceful, so I'm
sure there's a solution, and we'd love to hear about it if you find it.
Also, could you point me to a style guide that recommends that type
of citation? I'd like to forward it to the OpenOffice biblio group
for their requirements.
Thanks,
James
