+1 INTRODUCTION
+==============
+
+This LaTeX2e 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.)
+This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License
+(LPPL). See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/
+licenses.lppl.html for the details of that license.
+
+
+2 DOWNLOAD
+==========
+
+`footnoterange' is available on CTAN:
+  CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/footnoterange/
+
+Running
+tex footnoterange.dtx
+generates the files
+footnoterange.ins, footnoterange.drv, footnoterange.sty,
+and footnoterange-example.tex.
+
+Also a ZIP file is provided that contains these files,
+the manual (footnoterange.pdf), the compiled example
+(footnoterange-example.pdf), and this README, already
+sorted in a TDS tree:
+  CTAN:install/macros/latex/contrib/footnoterange.tds.zip
+
+`CTAN:' means one of the `Comprehensive TeX Archive Network'
+nodes or one of its mirrors. This is explained in
+  http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives
+
+The CTAN stuff will be mirrored automatically from the
+ftp server, so
+  ftp://ftp.tug.org/pub/tex/footnoterange/
+corresponds to
+  CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/footnoterange/
+
+
+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 CTAN:tds.zip 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 `*.sty' in your TDS tree:
+     cp *.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 teTeX:
+     mktexlsr .../texmf
+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 other packages:
+* ltxcmds, http://ctan.org/pkg/ltxcmds
+* xspace, http://ctan.org/pkg/xspace
+which again load other packages
+(see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file
+ of the example).
+
+
+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.
+
+
+6 AUTHOR/MAINTAINER
+=====================
+
+* H.-Martin Münch
+
+
+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". 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!
+
+Bug address

+\section*{Example for footnoterange}
+
+This example demonstrates the use of package\newline
+\textsf{footnoterange}, v1.0a as of 2012/02/17 (HMM).\newline
+The package does not use options.\newline
+
+\noindent For more details please see the documentation!\newline
+
+\noindent Save per page about $200\unit{ml}$ water,
+$2\unit{g}$ CO$_{2}$ and $2\unit{g}$ wood:\newline
+Therefore please print only if this is really necessary.\newline
+
+This\footnote{Lorem} text bears a multiplicity of footnotes.
+Because the \texttt{hyperref} package is used with option
+\texttt{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\ldots} Using
+\texttt{hyperfootnotes=false} or not using \texttt{hyperref}
+will remove the hyperlinks to the footnotes.\newline
+
+This text also bears a multiplicity of footnotes,
+but due to the use of the starred%
+\begin{footnoterange*}%
+\footnote{Ut purus elit,}%
+\footnote{vestibulum ut,}%
+\footnote{placerat ac,}%
+\footnote{adipiscing vitae,}%
+\footnote{felis.}%
+\footnote{Curabitur}%
+\footnote{dictum}%
+\footnote{gravida}%
+\end{footnoterange*}%
+ form of the environment they are not
+hyperlinked.\footnote{mauris\ldots}\newline
+
+The use of the optional parameter for footnotes%
+\begin{footnoterange}%
+\footnote[101]{Nam arcu libero,}%
+\footnote[102]{nonummy eget,}%
+\footnote[103]{consectetuer id,}%
+\footnote[104]{vulputate a,}%
+\footnote[105]{magna.}
+\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 \texttt{footnoterange} environment, only one
+footnotemark is used and an info is written into the
+log-file.\newline
+
+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 \texttt{alphalph} package, and references
+to footnote-symbol-ranges (\verb|\fnsymbol|) are probably
+not very clear.

+% \section{Introduction\label{sec:Introduction}}
+%
+% \indent This \LaTeXe{} package provides the environments |footnoterange| and\\
+% |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.
+%
+% \bigskip
+%
+% \section{Usage}
+%
+% \indent 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.\\
+%
+% \pagebreak
+%
+% About hyperlinks:\\
+% Footnote-references in a |footnoterange*| environment are never hyperlinked.\\
+% 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{http://ctan.org/pkg/alphalph} package
+% (but not automatically), and references to footnote-symbol-ranges (\verb|\fnsymbol|)
+% are probably not very clear.\\
+%
+% \subsection*{Options}
+% \indent The \xpackage{footnoterange} package takes no options.\\
+%
+% \section{Alternatives\label{sec:Alternatives}}
+%
+% I do not know of any alternative package, but if you programmed or found
+% another alternative, which is available at \CTAN{}, please send an e-mail
+% to me with the name, location at \CTAN{}, and a short notice, and I will probably
+% list it here.\\

+%
+% \noindent For required other packages, please see the preceding subsection.
+%
+% \paragraph{Unpacking.} The \xfile{.dtx} file is a self-extracting
+% \docstrip{} archive. The files are extracted by running the
+% \xfile{.dtx} through \plainTeX{}:
+% \begin{quote}

+%
+% About generating the documentation see paragraph~\ref{GenDoc} below.\\

+% If you have a \xfile{docstrip.cfg} that configures and enables \docstrip{}'s
+% \xfile{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 (\teTeX{}, \mikTeX{},\dots{}) relies on file name
+% databases, you must refresh these. For example, \teTeX{} 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\\
+% |(pdf)latex footnoterange-example.tex|.\\
+%
+% \section{Acknowledgements}
+%
+% I would like to thank \textsc{Heiko Oberdiek} for providing a~lot~(!) of
+% useful packages (from which I also got everything I know about creating
+% a file in \xext{dtx} format, ok, say it: copying), and the
+% \Newsgroup{comp.text.tex} and \Newsgroup{de.comp.text.tex} newsgroups
+% for their help in all things \TeX{}. This package was created as response
+% to question \textquotedblleft Compressing consecutive footnote
+% marks\textquotedblright{} by user001\\
+% (\url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/10127/user001}) on\\
