Summary description: A tagging-aware package for typesetting linguistic examples and glosses
Announcement text:
linguexx 1.4 adds movement arrows and verbatim text in examples, and contains several bugfixes. New features in 1.4 * Movement arrows: \mvto{a}{What} did John buy \mvfrom{a}{\_\_}? draws an arrow from the base position to the landing site, below the line, or above the object line in a gloss. Several movements in one example are stacked out of each other's way, and the links of a chain stay on one level. In beamer each slide has its own arrows, so they stay with their words across \pause and \only. In a tagged PDF the base position is read as "__ (moved)". * \verb, fancyvrb's \Verb and listings' \lstinline now work inside an \ex. example, in sub-examples and in glosses. Fixed in 1.4 * An empty gloss cell {} was dropped, so every gloss after it sat under the wrong word. * References to examples with a custom label, \ex.[(7)]: \ref printed nothing for the example itself and "(0a)" for its sub-examples, and all such links led to the first of them. * With cleveref, a \label in the prose after an example was referred to as the example, and a \cref list mixing numbered and custom-labelled examples could lose one of them. Changed in 1.4 * linguexx now needs LaTeX 2022-06-01 or later. A package option given a value, such as [legacy=true], is now an error: write [legacy].

Linguexx – A tagging-aware package for typesetting linguistic examples and glosses
This is a standalone LaTeX package for linguistic examples, with a linguex-compatible input syntax and first-class support for accessible (tagged) PDF output.
linguexx reimplements the familiar dot-syntax of linguex on the expl3 kernel, with no dependency on linguex, cgloss4e, or xspace. It runs on pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. When the document enables the LaTeX tagging code, linguexx writes its examples into the PDF structure tree as accessible objects.
