Citationstyle: Abbreviation f. and ff. for 2 and 3 pages
Some citation styles require to abbreviate two or three consecutive pages like the following examples: instead of pages 12-13 is should be just 12f. and instead of 12-14 is should rather read 12ff. Does anyone know how to implement something like this in the xml file for a citation style?
I searched around but couldn't find anything useful yet (maybe just using the wrong search terms?).

Isn't that still rather common in legal journals? I'll admit that I mostly only see the start page listed without any "f".
FWIW, my personal preference is to always that the _range_ listed.
For a pinpoint/locator for a specific argument or citation, ff. is just unnecessarily vague, given that it maybe saves you 2 characters.
