remove line break between linguex a. b. etc sentences

Question

I want to generate two trees (using forest) side by side numbered with linguex as a. and b. In other words I want to remove the line break between a. and b. for a single example in linguex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{forest}
\usepackage{linguex} 
\begin{document}  

\ex. \a. \begin{forest} baseline
[A [B][C]]
\end{forest}
\b. \begin{forest} baseline
[D [E][F]]
\end{forest}

\end{document}

I tried using minipage but it only works for different examples \ex. tree 1 \ex. tree2 not \ex. \a. tree 1 \b. tree 2

Answer 1

You can use the multicol package. Note that the blank line before \end{multicols} is required to end the ex. environment.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{forest}
\usepackage{linguex} 
\usepackage{multicol}
\begin{document}  
\begin{multicols}{2}
\ex. \a. \begin{forest} baseline
[A [B][C]]
\end{forest}
\b. \begin{forest} baseline
[D [E][F]]
\end{forest}

\end{multicols}
