1 INTRODUCTION
==============

This LaTeX package provides the environments footnoterange
and footnoterange*. Multiple footnotes inside these
environments are not referenced as e.g. "1 2 3" but as
"1-3", i.e. the range (from first to last referred footnote
at that place) is given. Depending on loading of hyperref
package and use of its hyperfootnotes-option the references
are hyperlinked. (References to footnotes in the
footnoterange* environment are never hyperlinked.)
The example additionally demonstrates how other footnote-
number-representations (\Roman, \roman, \Alph, \alph,
\fnsymbol) are possible, especially for more footnotes than
letters in the alphabet or symbols in fnsymbol.
Creation of smaller link boxes for footnotes is explained
in the documentation.

2 DOWNLOAD
==========

"footnoterange" is available on CTAN:
https://ctan.org/pkg/footnoterange

Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files:
the manual (footnoterange.pdf), the example (footnoterange-example.tex),
the compiled example (footnoterange-example.pdf),
driver (footnoterange.drv), footnoterange.dtx,
installation file (footnoterange.ins),
the style file (footnoterange.sty),
and this README, already sorted in a TDS tree:
https://mirror.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/footnoterange.tds.zip


3 INSTALLATION
==============

Installation with ZIP file in TDS format
----------------------------------------
The ZIP file "footnoterange.tds.zip" contains the files
sorted in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the
ZIP file inside a TDS tree.
See https://www.ctan.org/TDS-guidelines for an explanation
of TDS.
Example:
  cd /...somewhere.../texmf
  unzip /...downloadpath.../footnoterange.tds.zip
Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this
TDS tree.
Example:
  texhash /...somewhere.../texmf

Manual installation
-------------------
a) Download the footnoterange files from CTAN.
   If necessary, unpack them.
b) Generate the package and driver files:
     tex footnoterange.dtx
c) Install the file "footnoterange.sty" in your TDS tree:
     cp footnoterange.sty TDS:tex/latex/footnoterange/
   Replace "TDS:" by the prefix of your TDS tree
   (texmf directory).
d) Create the documentation, if necessary, e.g.
     pdflatex footnoterange.dtx
     makeindex -s gind.ist footnoterange.idx
     pdflatex footnoterange.dtx
     makeindex -s gind.ist footnoterange.idx
     pdflatex footnoterange.dtx
e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for TeXLive
     texhash or mktexlsr.
f) Create the footnoterange-example.pdf, if necessary, e.g.
     pdflatex footnoterange-example.tex
     pdflatex footnoterange-example.tex
     pdflatex footnoterange-example.tex
g) Copy the documentation files to
   "TDS:doc/latex/footnoterange/":
   README, footnoterange.pdf, footnoterange-example.tex,
   footnoterange-example.pdf.


4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES
=====================

footnoterange loads no other packages, but the example does.


5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY
=======================

footnoterange should be loaded quite late, i.e. after
footnote handling is changed by other packages.
If the hyperref package is used, footnoterange should
be loaded after hyperref.

7 BUG REPORTS
=============

A bug report should contain:
* Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or
  warning messages.
* \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the
  TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages.
* Minimal test file that shows the problem,
  but does not contain any unnecessary packages and code.
* Used drivers/programs.
* Version information about used packages and programs.
* If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles" to the document.
  Then a list of version information is printed at the end
  of the LaTeX run.
* Please no other files than the minimal test file.
  The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom
  necessary, so send them only on request.
* Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them!
