% \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.\\

\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

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \pagebreak
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
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.

% All packages of \textsc{Heiko Oberdiek}'s bundle `oberdiek'
% (especially \xpackage{holtxdoc}, \xpackage{ltxcmds}, and \xpackage{alphalph})
% are also available in a TDS compliant ZIP archive:\\
% \CTAN{install/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek.tds.zip}.\\
% It is probably best to download and use this, because the packages in there
% are quite probably both recent and compatible among themselves.\\

% 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\\
