Hi,
say that I have four tables with lables tab:A ... tab:D. Now, I would
like to say something like \in{Tables}[tab:A,tab:B,tab:C,tab:D] and the
output should be "Tables 2, 7-9".
How can this be done?
Greetings,

\in{Tables}[tab:A], \in[tab:B]--\in[tab:D]

Of course, this solution works, but it can easily break.
So there is no automatic sorting and combining? If I don't know that
table B--D have continuous numbers, or if this changes in the course of
writing, those references will become wrong.

implementing this is not complex, but the tricky part is in the prefixes (1.4, 2.5)

Not complex... ;-)
I admit that I didn't think of prefixes since I never used them so far.
Anyway, I think this would be a very useful feature, even if some
restrictions concerning prefixes had to be accepted. If you have the
opportunity to implement it sometime - great.
