- Judging from the answers, I did not make myself clear. Using % does not
- work as it fails with rather bad consequences as soon as the ASCII
- input text is reformatted to fit the screen. (In my example, it might
- become \cite{first, second, third,% fourth} and eliminate the remainder
- of the line in the process.) Furthermore, even blanks after commas
- within \cite are not handled properly. Thus, I'm looking for a
- modified version of \cite that treats its argument as comma-separated
- parameters, ignoring any white space between the arguments. To me, that
- would seem to be the intuitive way of defining such a command.
