% \section{Introduction}
% This \LaTeX{} package provides the environments |footnoterange| and\newline
% |footnoterange*|. Multiple footnotes inside these environments are not referenced
% as e.\,g. %
% \makeatletter%
% \hbox{\textquotedblleft \@textsuperscript {\normalfont 1 2 3}\textquotedblright}
% but as \hbox{\textquotedblleft \@textsuperscript {\normalfont 1--3}\textquotedblright ,\ }
% \makeatother%
% i.\,e. the range (from first to last referred footnote at that place) is given.
% Depending on loading of \xpackage{hyperref} and use of its |hyperfootnotes|-option
% the references are hyperlinked. References to footnotes in |footnoterange*|
% are never hyperlinked.\newline
% |\footnotemark\footnotetext| instead of |\footnote| is not supported inside
% |footnoterange| and |footnoterange*| environments.\newline
% 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|.\newline
% Creation of smaller link boxes for footnotes is explained in the following
% section Usage.
%
% \section{Usage}
% Just load the package placing
% \begin{quote}
%   |\usepackage{footnoterange}|
% \end{quote}
% \noindent in the preamble of your \LaTeXe{} source file. There are no options to
% be used. The package should be loaded after \xpackage{hyperref} (if that package is used)
% and after any other package redefining footnotes. Usage of the |footnoterange| (or
% |footnoterange*|) environment is simple: Just encapsulate the footnotes, which shall
% be referred as range instead of referencing as single ones (see the example file).
%
% About hyperlinks:\newline
% Footnote-references in a |footnoterange*| environment are never hyperlinked.\newline
% Footnote-references in a |footnoterange| environment may be hyperlinked:
% \begin{itemize}
%  \item When the \xpackage{hyperref} package is not loaded, they are not
%         hyperlinked (naturally).
%  \item When the \xpackage{hyperref} package is loaded, it depends on the
%         |hyperfootnotes| option of the \xpackage{hyperref} package:
%  \begin{itemize}
%   \item With |hyperfootnotes=true|, the references are hyperlinked.
%   \item With |hyperfootnotes=false|, the references are not hyperlinked.
%  \end{itemize}
% \end{itemize}
% |\footnote|s inside of the |footnoterange|/{}|footnoterange*| environment
% can use the optional parameter, i.\,e. |\footnote[42]{text}| even if this is the
% third footnote. When giving ranges as reference, this does not seem to be
% such a good idea, if this is not done consistently (i.\,e. footnotes
% |[42], [43], [44]| resulting in 42--44 is OK,
% but |[42]| (original~2), unchanged~3, unchanged~4 resulting in
% 42--4 is confusing). A warning about these changed footnotemarks is written
% into the \xfile{.log}-file.
%
% When there is only a single footnote in a |footnoterange| environment,
% this does not produce some reference like %
% \makeatletter%
% \hbox{\textquotedblleft \@textsuperscript {\normalfont 7--7}\textquotedblright{},\ }%
% \makeatother%
% but only one footnotemark is used automatically. Because it is strange to use
% a |footnoterange| environment without a range of footnotes, an info is written
% into the \xfile{.log}-file about this.
%
% The usage of other footnote-number-representations
% (e.\,g.~\verb|\Roman|, \verb|\roman|, \verb|\Alph|, \verb|\alph|,
% \verb|\fnsymbol|) is also possible, but two things must be taken
% into account: The number of footnote references is restricted (for
% example with \verb|\Alph| only references A to Z are possible), which
% can be fixed e.\,g. with the \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/alphalph} package
% (see footnoterange-example), and references to footnote-symbol-ranges
% (\verb|\fnsymbol|) might not be very clear.
% \pagebreak
%
% The link boxes for the footnotes span the line-height. If smaller boxes
% are wanted, this can be accomplished by:
% \begin{description}
% \item[-] making a copy of \texttt{footnoterange.sty}
% \item[-] renaming the copy to \texttt{footnoterangesb.sty}
% \item[-] in |\newcommand{\fnr@ifhyperfnrA}{...}| and
%           |\newcommand{\fnr@ifhyperfnrN}{...}| removing the
%           |\hyperref[fnr:\arabic\@mpfn]| and both |\hyperref[fnr:\fnr@first]|
%           (while \emph{not} removing their arguments!)
% \item[-] replacing the first |\ref*| in |\newcommand{\fnr@ifhyperfnrA}{...}| and
%           the first and second |\ref*| in |\newcommand{\fnr@ifhyperfnrN}{...}|
%           by |\ref| (and saving the \texttt{.sty} file)
% \item[-] moving the \texttt{footnoterangesb.sty} into your private \texttt{texmf-local} tree
% \item[-] refreshing the file file name databases, for example, \TeX\,Live\ users
%           run \verb|texhash| or \verb|mktexlsr|.
% \item[-] using |\usepackage{footnoterangesb}| instead of |\usepackage{footnoterange}|
%           in your document.
% \item[-] Regular footnote(links) are \emph{not} changed by this!
% \end{description}
%
% \subsection*{Options}
% \indent The \xpackage{footnoterange} package takes no options.
%
% \section{Alternatives\label{sec:Alternatives}}
% The \xpackage{fnpct} (\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/fnpct}), 2021-01-21, v1.0,
% and newer \emph{supports ranges for multiple footnotes natively}.
% For older versions the setting of multiple footnotes (|\multfootnote|),
% suppressing of footnotemarks \hbox{(|*|),}
% and customizing the multi-footnote-separator \hbox{(|\setfnpct{mult-fn-sep={|
% \emph{something} |}}|)} can be combined with stepping of the footnote-counter
% to give a footnoterange:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{hyperref}
% \usepackage{fnpct}
% \begin{document}
% The three little pigs built their houses
% out of straw\footnote{not to be confused with hay},
% sticks\footnote{or lumber according to some sources}
% and bricks%
% \makeatletter%
% \setfnpct{mult-fn-sep={--}}%
% \multfootnote{probably fired clay bricks\addtocounter\@mpfn{+1};%
% *or something else;%
% what do I know}. %
% \makeatother%
% \end{document}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \noindent If you programmed or found another alternative, which is available at
% \url{https://www.CTAN.org/}, please send an e-mail to me with the name,
% location at CTAN, and a short notice, and I will probably list it here.

\section*{Example for footnoterange}

This example demonstrates the use of package\newline
\textsf{footnoterange}, v1.1a as of 2023-02-25,
references to ranges of footnotes (HMM).\newline
The package does not use options.\newline
\verb|footnoterange-example.pdf| can be created by\newline
\verb|pdflatex footnoterange-example.tex|,\newline
and \verb|footnoterange-example.tex| can be created by\newline
\verb|tex footnoterange.dtx|.\newline
\verb|footnoterange.dtx| is at
\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/footnoterange}.\newline

\noindent For more details please see the documentation!

This\footnote{Lorem} text bears a multiplicity of footnotes.
Because the \verb|hyperref| package is used with option
\verb|hyperfootnotes=true|, the footnotes
\begin{footnoterange}
\footnote{ipsum}%
\footnote{dolor}%
\footnote{sit}%
\footnote{amet,}%
\footnote{consectetur}%
\footnote{adipisicing}%
\footnote{elit,}%
\footnote{sed}%
\end{footnoterange}
are hyperlinked.\footnote{do eiusmod tempor incididunt %
ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.} Using
\verb|hyperfootnotes=false| or not using \verb|hyperref|
will remove the hyperlinks to the footnotes.\medskip

This text also bears a multiplicity of footnotes,
but due to the use of the starred
\begin{footnoterange*}
\footnote{Ut enim}%
\footnote{ad minim veniam,}%
\footnote{quis}%
\footnote{nostrud}%
\footnote{exercitation}%
\footnote{ullamco}%
\footnote{laboris}%
\footnote{nisi}%
\end{footnoterange*}
form of the environment they are not
hyperlinked.\footnote{ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}
\medskip

The use of the optional parameter for footnotes%
\begin{footnoterange}%
\footnote[101]{Duis}%
\footnote[102]{aute}%
\footnote[103]{irure}%
\footnote[104]{dolor}%
\footnote[105]{in reprehenderit}%
\end{footnoterange}%
{} is also possible, but should be used consistently.
\pagebreak

When there is only one footnote
\begin{footnoterange}
\footnote{a single footnote}
\end{footnoterange}
in the \verb|footnoterange| environment, only one
footnotemark is used and an info is written into the
\verb|log|-file.

\bigskip

The usage of other footnote-number-representations
(e.\,g.~\verb|\Roman|%
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\Roman{footnote}}%
\begin{footnoterange}%
\footnote{Nam arcu libero,}%
\footnote{nonummy eget,}%
\footnote{consectetuer id,}%
\footnote{vulputate a,}%
\footnote{magna.}%
\end{footnoterange}%
, \verb|\roman|%
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\roman{footnote}}%
\begin{footnoterange}%
\footnote{in voluptate}%
\footnote{velit}%
\footnote{esse}%
\footnote{cillum}%
\footnote{dolore}%
\end{footnoterange}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% \pagebreak
%    \begin{macrocode}
, \verb|\Alph|%
\renewcommand*{\thefootnote}{\AlphAlph{\value{footnote}}}%
\begin{footnoterange}%
\footnote{eu fugiat}%
\footnote{nulla}%
\footnote{pariatur.}%
\footnote{Excepteur}%
\footnote{sint}%
\end{footnoterange}%
, \verb|\alph|%
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\alphalph{\value{footnote}}}%
\begin{footnoterange}%
\footnote{occaecat}%
\footnote{cupidatat}%
\footnote{non proident,}%
\footnote{sunt}%
\footnote{in culpa}%
\end{footnoterange}%
, \verb|\fnsymbol|%
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\protect\fnsymbolfnr{\arabic{footnote}}}%
\begin{footnoterange}%
\footnote{qui officia}%
\footnote{deserunt}%
\footnote{mollit}%
\footnote{anim}%
\footnote{id est laborum.}%
\end{footnoterange}%
) is also possible, but two things must be taken into account:

\begin{enumerate}
  \item By default the number of footnote references is restricted
    (for example with \verb|\Alph| only references A to Z are possible),
    which needs to be fixed. In this example the
    \href{https://ctan.org/pkg/alphalph}{\texttt{alphalph} package}
    is used for this purpose.
  \item References to footnote-symbol-ranges (\verb|\fnsymbol|)
    might not be very clear. For example, if the symbols %
    \newcounter{fnrxcnt}%
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{1}%
    \fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 1
    \fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 2
    \fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 3
    \fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 4
    \fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 5
    \fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 6
    \fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 7
    {} are used, %
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{2}\fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}}--%
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{7}\fnsymbolfnr{\value{fnrxcnt}} %
    means second to seventh footnote.\par%
    But if %
    \newalphalph{\fnsymbolfnri}[mult]{\fnrfnsymbol}{6}%
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{1}%
    \fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 1
    \fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 2
    \fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 3
    \fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 4
    \fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 5
    \fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 6
    \fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 7
    \fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 8
    {} are used, %
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{2}\fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}}--%
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{8}\fnsymbolfnri{\value{fnrxcnt}} %
    means second to eighth footnote.\par%
    And if %
    \newalphalph{\fnsymbolfnrx}[mult]{\fnrfnsymbol}{3}%
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{1}%
    \fnsymbolfnrx{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 1
    \fnsymbolfnrx{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 2
    \fnsymbolfnrx{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 3
    \fnsymbolfnrx{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 4
    \fnsymbolfnrx{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 5
    \fnsymbolfnrx{\value{fnrxcnt}}\stepcounter{fnrxcnt}% 6
    {} are used, %
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{2}\fnsymbolfnrx{\value{fnrxcnt}}--%
    \setcounter{fnrxcnt}{5}\fnsymbolfnrx{\value{fnrxcnt}} %

% If you have a \xfile{docstrip.cfg} that configures and enables \docstrip's
% TDS installing feature, then some files can already be in the right
% place, see the documentation of \docstrip{}.
%
% \subsection{Refresh file name databases}
%
% If your \TeX~distribution (\TeX\,Live, \mikTeX, \dots) relies on
% file name databases, you must refresh these. For example, \TeX\,Live\ users
% run \verb|texhash| or \verb|mktexlsr|.
%
% \subsection{Some details for the interested}
%
% \paragraph{Unpacking with \LaTeX{}.}
% The \xfile{.dtx} chooses its action depending on the format:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\plainTeX:] Run \docstrip{} and extract the files.
% \item[\LaTeX:] Generate the documentation.
% \end{description}
% If you insist on using \LaTeX{} for \docstrip{} (really,
% \docstrip{} does not need \LaTeX ), then inform the autodetect routine
% about your intention:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|latex \let\install=y\input{footnoterange.dtx}|
% \end{quote}
% Do not forget to quote the argument according to the demands
% of your shell.
%
% \paragraph{Generating the documentation.\label{GenDoc}}
% You can use both the \xfile{.dtx} or the \xfile{.drv} to generate
% the documentation. The process can be configured by a
% configuration file \xfile{ltxdoc.cfg}. For instance, put the following
% line into this file, if you want to have A4 as paper format:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|\PassOptionsToClass{a4paper}{article}|
% \end{quote}
%
% \noindent An example follows how to generate the
% documentation with \pdfLaTeX :
%
% \begin{quote}
%\begin{verbatim}
%pdflatex footnoterange.dtx
%makeindex -s gind.ist footnoterange.idx
%pdflatex footnoterange.dtx
%makeindex -s gind.ist footnoterange.idx
%pdflatex footnoterange.dtx
%\end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
%
% \subsection{Compiling the example}
%
% The example file, \textsf{footnoterange-example.tex}, can be compiled via\newline
% \indent \verb|(pdf)latex footnoterange-example.tex|\newline
% but will need probably at least two compiler runs to get everything right.\newline
% \verb|footnoterange-example.tex| can be created by\newline
% \indent \verb|tex footnoterange.dtx|.\newline
% \verb|footnoterange.dtx| is at
% \url{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/footnoterange}.\newline
