sed remove multiple set of lines in one command

is there a way with sed to removed more than one set of lines in one line?

so i mean
Code:
sed ${firstElem},${lastIndex}d web.xml > web1.xml

this will delete lines between ${firstElem},${lastIndex}

i want in the same line to do somethinkg like this (doesn't work so far)
Code:
sed ${firstElem},${lastIndex}d ; ${secondElem},${lastIndex1}d web.xml > web1.xml

at the same time delete lines between ${firstElem},${lastIndex} and ${secondElem},${lastIndex1}d

if i don't do this in one line.. indexes for the second set change.. and i need to grep for them again.. so it would be really good if i could delete the two sets simulatiously..

thanks a lot

GJOTS2DOCBOOK(1)					      General Commands Manual						  GJOTS2DOCBOOK(1)

NAME
gjots2docbook - Convert a gjotsfile to DOCBOOK (on stdout) SYNOPSIS
gjots2docbook -a|-b [ -e ] [ -P ] [ -p ] [ gjotsfile ] DESCRIPTION
gjots2docbook converts a gjotsfile into DOCBOOK XML. gjots2docbook uses awk(1) to perform the conversion. gjots2docbook does not create them so the first element in the file should contain any <bookinfo> or <artheader> element. Similarly, <bib- liographic> elements are not created. In fact the output is very simplistic with item titles in the gjotsfile being converted to chapter or section headings in DOCBOOK. There is no reason why your gjotsfile should not contain valid DOCBOOK XML - and that is why the -e and -p op- tions are provided. If the file does not start with <?xml ...> then appropriate lines will be added as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE doc_type PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"> If properly installed, the docbook utilities can then be used to create HTML, man, ps, pdf etc files eg: gjots2docbook -b ~/.gjotsfile >gjotsfile.xml docbook2pdf gjotsfile.xml It may be necessary to fine-tune the docbook formatting to access all features. OPTIONS
-a makes a DOCBOOK article -b makes a DOCBOOK book -e don't encode special characters eg < -> &lt; -p don't change blank lines to </para><para> markers -P first section is a preface rather than a chapter (book only) AUTHOR
