% \section{Introduction}
%
% Imagine we want to refer to the standard
% model~\cite{Glashow,*Salam,*Weinberg} of particle physics.  Instead
% of the standard \BibTeX{}~\cite{btxdoc,*btxhak} format
% \begin{itemize}
%   \bitem{1} Sheldon Glashow. Partial symmetries of weak interactions.
%     {\em Nucl.~Phys.}, 22:579, 1961.
%   \bitem{2} Abdus Salam. Weak and electromagnetic interactions.
%     In W.~Svartholm, editor, {\em Elementary Particle Theory}, page 367,
%     Stockholm, 1968. Almquist and Wiksell.
%   \bitem{3} Steven Weinberg.  A model of leptons.
%     {\em Phys.~Rev.~Lett.}, 19:1264, 1967.
% \end{itemize}
% it is customary in physics journals to collapse such references into one
% \begin{itemize}
%   \bitem{1} Sheldon Glashow, Nucl.~Phys.~\textbf{22} (1961) 579; 
%     Abdus Salam, in: W.~Svartholm (ed.), \textit{Elementary
%     Particle Theory}, p.~367, Stockholm, 1968;
%     Steven Weinberg, Phys.~Rev.~Lett.~\textbf{19} (1967) 1264.
% \end{itemize}
% The slight typographyical changes are easily taken care of by
% changing the \BibTeX{} style, i.e.~by using |phaip.bst|.  The hard
% part is to convince \BibTeX{} to collapse the entries.  \MCITE/
% takes care of that.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\cite}
% This package overloads the \LaTeX{}~\cite{latex,*latex-companion}
% |\cite| command.  All keys starting with a |*| (which should be
% sufficiently unlikely in a \BibTeX{} key) will be added to the
% previous item.  For example the following
% reference~\cite{texbook,latex,*latex-companion,Glashow,*Salam,*Weinberg}
% was created by
% |\cite{texbook,latex,*latex-companion,Glashow,*Salam,*Weinberg}|.
%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \subsection*{Hacking the \BibTeX{} Style}
%
% With the standard \BibTeX{} styles, it is almost impossible to
% provide proper punctuation (i.e.~``|;|'' between collapsed items).
% In principle one could play tricks with an active ``|.|'', but there
% are too many special cases in real life \BibTeX{} entries that can go
% wrong.  Fortunately, it is fairly easy to customize \BibTeX{} styles
% for our purposes.
%
% Almost all \BibTeX{} styles known to (wo)mankind contain a function
% \begin{verbatim}
% FUNCTION {fin.entry}
% { add.period$
%   write$
%   newline$
% }
% \end{verbatim}
% removing the |add.period$| and escaping the |newline$| with |\relax|
% will take care of the paragraph breaks and allow \MCITE/ to provide
% the proper punctuation:
% \begin{verbatim}
% FUNCTION {fin.entry}
% { write$
%   "\relax" write$
%   newline$
%   "\relax" write$
% }
% \end{verbatim}
% Note that |%| would be almost as good as |\relax| but the latter
% also works if the |\catcode| of |%| has been changed.
%
% In the function |begin.bib|, the |\begin{thebibliography}| should be
% replaced by |\begin{mcbibliography}|.  Similary, in |end.bib| the
% |\end{thebibliography}| by |\end{mcbibliography}|.  The
% |mcbibliography| environment will inform \MCITE/ that it has to
% provide the punctuation.
%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \subsection*{Bugs and Deficiencies}
%
% The following bugs and deficiencies are known:
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item{} \MCITE/ only works with unsorted bibliography styles.
%     Without modifications to \BibTeX, it seems impossible to support
%     sorted bibliography styles.
%   \item{} \MCITE/'s |\cite| is less forgiving about bogus spaces.
%     This can be fixed.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% \StopEventually{}

% \section{Implementation}
%
% It's is good practice to identify this version of this package.
% We do this by parsing an RCS |Id| string and storing the
% result in the conventional \TeX{} control sequences:
%    \begin{macrocode}
%&lt;*package&gt;
\def\fileversion{v0.04}
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
{\def\RCS#1#2\endRCS{%
  \ifx$#1%
    \@RCS $#2 \endRCS
  \else
    \@RCS $*: #1#2$ \endRCS
  \fi}%
 \def\@RCS $#1: #2,v #3 #4 #5 #6$ \endRCS{%
   \gdef\filename{#2}%
   \gdef\filerevision{v#3}%
   \gdef\filedate{#4}%
   \gdef\docdate{#4}}%
\RCS $Id: mcite.dtx,v 1.6 1996/01/01 23:52:29 ohl Exp $ \endRCS}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% And now the standard procedure:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ProvidesPackage{mcite}[\filedate\space multiple citations]
\typeout{Package: `mcite'
   \fileversion\space &lt;\filedate&gt; (tho) PRELIMINARY TEST RELEASE}
\wlog{English documentation \@spaces&lt;\docdate&gt; (tho)}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \subsection{Collecting Information}
%

% \subsection{Producing the Output}
%
% The simplest approach is to just drop the |\@bibitem| if we're
% processing a continuation (it is just an |\item| with associated
% |.aux| file action):
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\orig@bibitem\@bibitem
\def\@bibitem#1{%
%    \end{macrocode}
% If the \BibTeX{} style supports \MCITE/, we have to provide
% punctuation ourselves.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifmc@bstsupport
    \mc@iftail{#1}%
      {;\space\ignorespaces}%
      {\ifmc@first\else.\fi\orig@bibitem{#1}}
    \mc@firstfalse
  \else
    \mc@iftail{#1}%
      {\ignorespaces}%
      {\orig@bibitem{#1}}%
  \fi}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifmc@bstsupport
\mc@bstsupportfalse
%    \end{macrocode}
% We can't handle |\bibitem|s with an optional argument; tell the user.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@lbibitem[#1]#2{%
  \PackageError{mcite}%
    {You can't use the optional argument of \protect\bibitem}%
    {Hey, *I* have to fool around with the labels!}%
  \@bibitem{#2}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% The |mcbibliography| environment instructs \MCITE/ to provide its
% own punctuation.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\mcbibliography{%
  \mc@bstsupporttrue
  \mc@firsttrue
  \thebibliography}
\def\endmcbibliography{%
  .%
