I'm using the linguex package for writing examples. Now, I'd like to modify the labels in some cases to yield a', a'' for example. So, a MWE would be:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{linguex}
\begin{document}
\ex.\a. Example a
    \b. Example a'
    \c. Example b
\end{document}

The docu didn't help unfortunately. Do you people have an idea?

You can supply a manual label to any example. Remember though that you can no longer refer to an example with such a label with the regular \label and \ref system, since the label is not a counter. Here's an example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{linguex}
\begin{document}
\ex.
\a. First example.
\b.[a.$'$] Modified example.
\c.[a.$''$] Modified again.


\end{document}

output of code

  • Ah ok, cool. But would there be a workaround to also be able to reference to the labels?

    Unfortunately the way linguex automatically formats \ref{} commands makes this difficult. In principle you should be able to build the reference by using (\ref{foo}a$'$) where 'foo` is the label inserted right after \ex.. But linguex preformats the \ref{foo} so that it comes out automatically as "(<num>)" which means that out of the box you can't do this.

    For completeness sake. I found a workaround by doing \Next or \Last with the label name in brackets, so for instance \Last[a.$'$] produces the right reference to the example for me.
