Be aware that BD has no info about the order in the document, it only knows about the .bib document and its selection. This is different from CiteInPages, which parses the document (which is *not* a tex document). So CiteInPages did definitely *not* solve this problem, it's doing a completely different thing. Generally, the order of the items in the latex file is the responsibility of the bibtex style, as Adam also pointed out. > >> >> >>> and I did not >>> notice any hyphenation for consecutive bibliographic citations, i.e. >>> [1,2,3,4,5,] (at its best!) instead of [1-5]. >> >> This is a BibTeX style issue, unrelated (at least) to BibDesk. > > I guess there should be an option to gropu the references and > hyphenate There's no way for BD to figure this out and therefore offer this option. Unless it has some TeX parser, which won't be included. Hyphenation is really something outside BDs scope, it's decided by the latex style (.sty), not by the citations that were pushed.
