Frequently Asked Questions about Citations, Cross References and Indexes

§1.  Citing/Bibliography

§1.1  What is the difference between "normal" BibTeX, Natbib, Jurabib, Biblatex etc.?

• See this page.

§1.2  How can I make citations show up as [1,2,3,6] or [1-3,6] rather than [1][2][3][6]?

Insert \usepackage{cite} into the LaTeX preamble. Most LaTeX distributions should have this package included.
LyX supports this package, if you insert multiple citations separated by commas into the citation dialog, e.g. [Smalley_JCP,Jarrold_Sci], instead of just one citation after the other: [Smalley_JCP] [Jarrold_Sci].

§1.3  How can I create a shortcut to Insert > Citation / Cross-Reference / Label / Index Entry / Nomenclature Entry?

Add the following lines into to your user.bind:

\bind "M-c" "citation-insert"
\bind "M-r" "dialog-show-new-inset ref"
\bind "M-l" "label-insert"
\bind "M-i" "index-insert"
\bind "M-n" "nomencl-insert"

§2.  Indexing

2.1  How can I generate multiple indexes?
