LaTeX Latex - Multiple references in one citation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on achieving condensed citations in LaTeX using the elsarticle class and the elsarticle-num.bst bibliography style. The user is attempting to format citations to appear as a range (e.g., [1-4]) instead of a full list (e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4]). It is confirmed that the bibliography style dictates citation formatting, and alternatives such as the REVTeX bibliography styles or creating a custom style with Merlin are suggested as solutions to this issue.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX document preparation system
  • Understanding of bibliography management in LaTeX

Guys,

I am trying to get my citations to do a "through" type thing, ala,. . .gotten using this method [1-4].

Rather, I am getting an entire listing, ala. . . gotten using this method [1, 2, 3, 4].

I am simply using
Code: 
. . . gotten using this method~\cite{ref1,ref2,re3,ref4}.
which from what I understand should be enough. Is there an issue with my bibstyle?

I am using the elsarticle class and elsarticle-num.bst if anyone is familiar with them. I have access to the other .bst classes if anyone can recommend one to remedy this situation.
