Text Formatting ⇒ Title of the abstract placed just before the text

[Domingues]

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to write one article, and i want the title of the abstract placed just before the text, in the following fashion:

Abstract: Once upon a time...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs ssssssssssssssssssss
sssssssss ssssssssss s sssssssssssss so on.

Actually i've already reached to a solution, but it gets centered and not justified as i want, because i must center the authors and the emails.

Thanks

Hi,

the answer might vary depending on the document class (crucial information that you forgot to mention), so... which document class are you using?.

[Domingues]

Hi again, thanks for helping me.
As you can see, i'm using article class, and i have been trying some hypoteses.
I tried to renew the abstract command, and actually it works, however the abstract gets centered, 'cause i'm centering the authors and e-mails.

i'd aprecciate If you give me some hint, to change the way i'm writting the authors or to change the renewcommand.

Thanks

Honest to God, I had no idea there was a \center-command!
Here's what the title page of this document (guide) consists of:

Code: Select all

\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}\huge
	Minion Pro {\footnotesize and} \textsf{Myriad Pro} {\footnotesize for MikTeX 2}\\\large
	on a PC with Windows XP and higher
\end{center}
\begin{center}\small
	Version: \today~at~\thistime~h
\end{center}
\begin{abstract}\footnotesize
\noindent \textbf{Preamble:}\\
This is a simple guide for installing Minion Pro for the use with MikTeX. This document is intended for entry-level users. If you know how to install a font for MikTeX, you can close this document. There may be other ways to correctly install a font; consider this more of a log of the steps that I (successfully) took. This guide is solely based on the advice I got and the steps I took and of all the steps I took especially the steps that worked. If you want to work through this guide, I suggest you print it.

Thanks a lot.
Actually it almost works, but still there is a problem.
Now with:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[portuges]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{t1enc}
\usepackage{aeguill}
...
\begin{abstract}\footnotesize
\noindent \textbf{Resumo:}
This is...

The text is aligned the way I desire, but it puts Abstract as Title, and in the next line it starts as I want. Something like:

...........................Abstract(centered)
Resumo: This is....

Is it possible to delete the "Abstract" word as title.

Thanks

I am sorry, but I do not understand what exactly it is you wish to get as a result. :/

The easiest way would be to renew the abstract environment and introduce the abstract with a simple \paragraph command as shown below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[portuges]{babel}

\makeatletter
\if@titlepage
  \renewenvironment{abstract}{%
      \titlepage
      \null\vfil
      \@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
        \paragraph{\abstractname:}
        \@endparpenalty\@M
      }%
     {\par\vfil\null\endtitlepage}
\else
  \renewenvironment{abstract}{%
      \if@twocolumn
        \section*{\abstractname}%
      \else
        \small
        \paragraph{\abstractname:}
      \fi}
      {\if@twocolumn\else\par\bigskip\fi}
\fi
\makeatother

Drop the aeguill and t1enc package. They are obsolete.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks a lot. That is exactly what I want.

[Domingues]

Actually, it is one thing missing yet. The margins in the abstract section must be larger than the all rest of the document margins.

I really do not know how to shrink the abstract text width.


Thanks again for your support.
