Text Formatting ⇒ number abstract

[neumannturing]

Hi,
It seems that my latex turn off the numbering for the abstract page and reset the page number to one after abstract. How can I turn on the numbering for the abstract page and NOT reset the page number to one. Thank you.

This behaviour is quite intentionally because the abstract isn't really part of the document thus placed on a kind of title page without numbering. Starting from report as your document class, you can borrow the code for the abstract environment from the class file and modify it as shown below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\author{neumannturing}
\title{Page numbering issue on abstract page}
%\date{\today}

\makeatletter
\if@titlepage
  \renewenvironment{abstract}{%
%      \titlepage                       % <------
      \null\vfil
      \@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
      \begin{center}%
        \bfseries \abstractname
        \@endparpenalty\@M
      \end{center}}%
     {\par\vfil\null}% \endtitlepage}   % <------
\else
  \renewenvironment{abstract}{%
      \if@twocolumn
        \section*{\abstractname}%
      \else
        \small
        \begin{center}%
          {\bfseries \abstractname\vspace{-.5em}\vspace{\z@}}%
        \end{center}%
        \quotation
      \fi}
      {\if@twocolumn\else\endquotation\fi}
\fi
\makeatother

\begin{document}
  \maketitle

  \begin{abstract}
    \blindtext
  \end{abstract}

  \blinddocument
\end{document}

I commented the critical parts of the code in the branch for the case that there is a title page and so made them noneffective.

I never used it, but perhaps the abstract package offers an interface that might be much easier than this way of problem-solving.
