# [OS X TeX] Referring to custom labels in enumerate environments

Sat May 6 23:34:13 EDT 2006

I want to do the following, and I am wondering what the most elegant
way is:

I have one particular enumerate environment, whose items I want to
number as:
T1.
T2.
T3.

etc. I used the enumerate package for this, and have currently
something like:

\begin{enumerate}[T1.]
\item ...\label{T1}
\item ...\label{T2}
\item ...\label{T3}
\end{enumerate}

Now, I want to use \eqref{T2} or \ref{T2}, or some other reference
tool, to get as an answer "T2", without the quotes of course, and
without the dot that appears in the item label. As it stands, these
produce "(2)" and "2" respectively. In the LaTeX Companion I found a
way to achieve this by redefining \labelenumi and using the varioref
package and \labelformat to set the format for all enumi's, but I
really only want to target this particular enumerate environment.
There are probably a number of ways to deal with this, but I am
looking for an elegant one. For now I will just go with "T\ref{T2}",
or even possibly T2, since I am not going to rearrange things too
much anyway, nor will I use the ref more than 3 times. So it is more
of an academic question, to which I'd like to know the answer. What
is the _best_ solution to this?

TIA,
Haris
