I use refer a lot to process references in [gt]roff. I have been unable
to figure out how to handle the groupings of references. An example
would be:
The flux capacitor has been studied widely [7-23] after the pioneering
work of Smith [11-15]...
where those references are listed at the end of the document.
It is easy to have the references listed as [7, 8, 9, and so on] after
they are cited. Is there a way to do this without suppressing the
reference in the text body and putting it in manually?

yes, their is a way (and to be fair, it _is_ in the manpage of refer
and one can understand that passage without making it a project of it's
own -- which is not the case with other parts of the manpage,
I'm afraid :-) ):
I use the following refer settings regularly (with -ms macros)
.R1
search-truncate 255
accumulate
bracket-label " [" "]" ", "
abbreviate-label-ranges
reverse A
sort A
sort-adjacent-labels
move-punctuation
join-authors " and " ", " ", "
.R2
the relevant command is `abbreviate-label-ranges' (see manpage for the
details).
