Is there a way to pull out just the subexample number for a reference when using gb4e? Sometimes I'd like to do something like "In the (a) example(s)...," without having the number. It feels like this should be possible, but I can't seem to find how anywhere.



MWE:



documentclassarticle
usepackagegb4e

begindocument
Blah blah blah...

Here are some examples...
beginexe
 ex beginxlist
 exThis is an example.labelsub1
 ex[*]This example an is.labelsub2
 endxlist
endexe

As with the previous cases, we see here that the refsub1 example is grammatical, while the refsub2 example is not.

enddocument


The goal would be to replace refsub1 and refsub2 with commands that will just pull out the (a) and (b) parts, without including the preceding number.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain.
