% Remove duplicates and compress the list by using ranges.
% The basic idea is to save a range begin and a range end, without
% immediately printing every element.
% Only if the range is complete, print it. This can only be checked when

The code can probably be quite a bit improved, simplified and generalized. Testing is also necessary, I only tested it with one document in one configuration.
