                   CITE.STY

Modify LaTeX's normal citation mechanism to behave as follows:

o Put a comma and a small space between each citation number. The option
  [nospace] removes that space, and the option [space] replaces it with
  an ordinary inter-word space.

o Sort citation numbers into ascending order, printing non-numbers before 
  numbers.  All numbers should be greater than zero.  The [nosort] package 
  option turns off sorting.

o Compress lists of three or more consecutive numbers to one number range
  which can be split, with difficulty, after the dash.  All numbers should
  be greater than zero.  E.g., if you used to get the (nonsense) list 
  [7,5,6,?,4,9,8,Einstein,6], then this style will give [?,Einstein,4-6,6-9].
  Compression of ranges is disabled by the [nocompress] package option.

o Sort numeric citations with prefix and/or suffix characters so different 
  prefixes are grouped together, and suffixes form sub-lists for the same
  number; so you could get  [18a-18c,19] or [A48,Q1,Q3-Q5].

o Allow, but discourage, line breaks within the group of citations (after
  dashes, and after punctuation). Penalties are \citepunctpenalty and
  \citemidpenalty. 

o Put a high-penalty breakpoint (value \citeprepenalty) before the citation 
  (unless there is a different penalty specified there).  Also, adjust the 
  spacing: if there is no space or if there is extra space due to some 
  punctuation, then change to one inter-word space. E.g.,   
  A space will be inserted here\cite{Larry,Curly,Moe}.

o All breaks can be forbidden with the [nobreak] package option.  They can 
  be adjusted independently by setting the parameters \citeprepenalty, 
  \citemidpenalty, and \citepunctpenalty.  Use \mathchardef to change these
  penalty values!  E.g.,  \mathchardef\citeprepenalty=9999 (Yes, that is 
  obscure but I don't want to pretend they are counters.)

o With package option [superscript] (or [super] for short), display citation
  numbers as superscripts (unless they have optional notes, causing them to
  be printed on-line with brackets).  Superscripted citations follow these
  additional rules:

-> Superscript citations use THE SAME INPUT FORMAT as ordinary citations; this
   style will ignore spaces before the citation, and move trailing punctuation
   before the superscript citation.  For example, "information \cite{source};"
   ignores the space before \cite and puts the semicolon before the number,
   just as if you had typed "information;$^{12}$".  You may switch off movement
   with the [nomove] package option (only relevant with [superscript]).

-> The punctuation characters that will migrate before the superscript are
   listed in the macro \CiteMoveChars, which you can redefine.  The default is
   .,;:.   Perhaps ! and ? should too, but they weren't listed in the APS style
   manual I looked at, and I agree with that choice because they put too
   much visual separation between the cite and what it applies to.  Feel free
   to redefine \CiteMoveChars.  Quotes were listed as coming before the
   cite notation, but they should be typed before the \cite command in any
   case because both on-line and superscript cites come after the quotation. 
   This gives one difficulty --- punctuation following quotes won't migrate
   inside the quotation: e.g., "``Transition State Theory''\cite{Eyring}." 
   gives "``Transition State Theory''.$^8$", but you may want the period inside
   the quotes, thus: ``Transition State Theory.''$^8$.

-> Doubling of periods (.., ?., !.) is checked for and suppressed. The spacing
   after the citation is set according to the final punctuation mark moved.
   There is a problem with double periods after a capitalized abbreviation
   or directly after \@ : Both of "N.A.S.A. \cite{space}." and "et al.\@
   \cite{many}." will give doubled periods.  These can be fixed as follows:
   "N.S.A\@. \cite{space}." and "et al.\ \cite{many}.". The NSA example 
   gives the wrong spacing when there is no citation.  Sorry.  Use \  after
   abbreviations like et al. to get the right spacing within a sentence whether
   or not a citation follows.

-> Remember, these rules regarding punctuation only apply when the [super]
   or [superscript] option was given (or overcite.sty used) and the [nomove]
   option was NOT given.

o Define \citen to get just the numbers without the brackets or superscript
  and extra formatting.  Aliases are \citenum and \citeonline for easy
  conversion to other citation packages.

o All of \nocite, \cite, and \citen ignore spaces in the input tags.

Although each \cite command sorts its numbers, better compression into
ranges can usually be achieved by carefully selecting the order of the
\bibitem entries or the order of initial citations when using BibTeX.
Having the entries pre-sorted will also save processing time, especially
for long lists of numbers.

Customization:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several options for \usepackage{cite}, some already mentioned.

 [superscript] use superscrpts for cites without optional notes
 [super]       alias for [superscript] (like natbib)
 [verbose]     UNUSED NOW! (do repeat duplicate warnings)
 [ref]         uses the format "[Ref.~12, given note]" (useful with 
               the superscript option)
 [nospace]     eliminates the spaces after commas in the number list
 [space]       uses a full inter-word space after the commas
 [nobreak]     eliminate all line-breaks
 [nosort]      prevents sorting of the numbers (default is to sort, and the...
 [sort]        option is provided for completeness).
 [nomove]      prevents moving the superscript cite after punctuation.
 [move]        is the default
 [noadjust]    disables `smart' handling of space before a cite
 [adjust]      is the default
 [nocompress]  inhibit compression of consecutive numbers into ranges
 [compress]    is the default
 [biblabel]    define the bibliography label as a superscript

There are several commands that you may redefine (using \renewcommand
or \def) to change the formatting of citation lists:

command          function                    default
----------       -----------------------     ----------------------------
\citeform        reformats each number       nothing
\citepunct       printed between numbers     comma + penalty + thin space
\citeleft        left delimiter of list      [
\citeright       right delimeter of list     ]
\citemid         printed before note         comma + penalty + space
\citedash        used in a compressed range  endash + penalty
\CiteMoveChars   charcters that move         .,:;
\OverciteFont    font sel. for superscripts  \fontsize{\sf@size}...

The left/mid/right commands don't affect the formatting of superscript
citations.  You may use \renewcommand to change any of these.  Remember,
these commands are extensions made by this package; they are not regular
LaTeX.  Some examples of changes:

1: \renewcommand\citeform[1]{\romannumeral 0#1}} % roman numerals i,vi
2: \renewcommand\citeform[1]{(#1)} % parenthesized numbers (1)-(5),(9)
3: \renewcommand\citeform{\thechapter.}  % by chapter: ^{2.18-2.21}
4: \renewcommand\citepunct{,} % no space and no breaks at commas
5: \renewcommand\citemid{; }  % semicolon before optional note
6: \renewcommand\citeleft{(}  % parentheses around list with note
   \renewcommand\citeright{)} % parentheses around list with note

The appearance of the whole citation list is governed by \@cite, (for full-
sized cites) and \@citess (for superscripts).  For more extensive changes 
to the formatting, redefine these.  For example, to get brackets around the 
list of superscript numbers you can do:

   \def\@citess#1{\textsuperscript{[#1]}}

after \makeatletter.

Related Note:  The superscript option does not affect the numbering format
of the bibliography; the "[12]" style is still the default.  To get
superscripts in the bibliography (at any time) you can define

   \renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{\textsuperscript{#1}}

Aw, OK, for your convenience, there is the [biblabel] package option that
just performs this definition (sort of).

Line breaking can be turned off using the [nobreak] option.  It can be
controlled more precisely by changing three numeric values, assigned 
with \mathchardef, for controlling the line-break penalties:

\citeprepenalty   penalty before cite         default \@highpenalty
\citemidpenalty   penalty used in \citemid    default \@medpenalty
\citepunctpenalty penalty used in \citepunct  default 1000

(Use \mathchardef assignments like \mathchardef\citemidpenalty=900.
These were chosen so as to not waste registers.)  Alternatively, the 
commands \citemid, \citedash, and \citepunct can be redefined to use 
different penalty parameters, or none at all.

\@extra@b@citeb is a hook for other style files to further specify
citations; for example, to number by chapter (see chapterbib.sty).
