 >|  \end{enumerate}
 >|\item This is item 5 which is suppose to reference \vref{itm:4A}
 >|\end{enumerate}

 >|The problem is that (1) it only prints out "A"  and not "item 4A". I

 >|\labelformat{enumi}{item~#1}
 >|\labelformat{enumii}{item~#1}
 >|\labelformat{enumiii}{item~#1}
 >|\labelformat{enumiiii}{item~#1}

 >|This may not seem like a huge problem, but these lists are used in
 >|legal documents and can be quite lengthy and several levels deep. I
 >|need the reference to be more precise than just printing out a vague
 >|letter or number that can refer to several placed in the section.
