I defined parlist
using lower case letters for the items (I know that there are other ways to use letters for the items but I wanted to customize the list style anyway).
Unfortunately, if I refer to them, the label is printed with a number. Can anyone help me with that?
Here is a MWE:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcounter{num}
\newenvironment{parlist}{\begin{list}{(\alph{num})}{\usecounter{num} \leftmargin0pt \itemindent5pt \topsep0pt \labelwidth0pt}}{\end{list}}
\begin{document}
\begin{parlist}
\item This is the first item \label{first}
\item and another one
\end{parlist}
As seen in \eqref{first}...
\end{document}
Which produces:
