<h1>Why do my citations appear in long form [1,2,3,4] instead of short form [1-4]?</h1> <p> Some latex packages such as the <tt>cite</tt> package normally show citations in a condensed form using a range, e.g., [1-4], instead of [1,2,3,4]. By default, we process papers with <a href="http://arxiv.org/hypertex">HyperTeX</a>, which automatically adds hyperlinks from the citations with the body of the text to the bibliography. To be able to do this on a per-citation basis it is necessary to use the long form (how would you link to reference 2 in 1-4?), so this is the default behavior. </p> <p> We argue that the benefit of citation links outweighs the slightly longer form of the citations. However, if you insist on preserving the short form for citations then you may <a href="mistakes#nohypertex">turn off HyperTeX for your paper</a>. </p>
