Summary description: A tagging-aware package for typesetting linguistic examples and glosses

Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

linguexx 1.5 repairs sub-example references under the current LaTeX kernel, and adds shared glosses for word-order variants, morpheme alignment, and right-to-left documents and glosses.

Fixed in 1.5

* With the LaTeX kernel of October 2026 (the latex-lab update of 2026-10-27), \ref to a sub-example printed "a." instead of "(4a)", and \refrange could not read the number back. Documents that refer to sub-examples should update. * A document loading babelbidi (new in TeX Live 2026) together with linguexx did not build under LuaLaTeX. It does now. linguexx's right-to-left layout needs polyglossia; under babel, a document whose main language is right to left is not supported yet. * Under LuaLaTeX with polyglossia's French, a judgment mark containing ? was printed on top of the first word instead of hanging to its left. * Two PDF/UA failures: \GlossTierLang{2}{} wrote an empty language tag, and a translated sub-example under \GlossTransLang left its language open into the next item. * Under [phantomalign], a gloss word's leading ( now sits under the object word's ( when the object has more marks, as in (⌜.

New in 1.5

* \CommonGloss: sub-examples that differ only in word order share one set of gloss lines, set as one aligned table (and read as a table in a tagged PDF). It works in exe lists through \begin{xlist}[CommonGloss], and in beamer a \pause between rows uncovers them one at a time. * \GlossMorphAlign aligns glosses morpheme by morpheme across tiers, with no new markup: ev-ler-de over house-PL-LOC puts -ler over -PL. * \exrefcheck lists what every relative reference (\Next, \Last, ...) and every \refrange resolved to, to catch an example inserted between a \Next and the example it was written for. * Right-to-left text with polyglossia: \GlossRTL and \glscript for right-to-left glosses, and right-to-left documents, whose examples are the mirror image of left-to-right ones, with each gloss running in its example's direction. A complete Hebrew example document ships with the package. LuaLaTeX is recommended. For a tagged document with right-to-left text it is required: under XeLaTeX, every right-to-left paragraph fails PDF/UA, with or without linguexx. Some layout choices in right-to-left glosses are provisional, and the manual says which. * *( (a star against an opening parenthesis, for an obligatory element) is a judgment that is read out as "obligatory".
