Page Layout ⇒ Abstract Heading like Paragraph Heading

[LesJacques]

Hi everybody,

I have a simple problem, but i can't manage to resolve it. I'm sure you gonna find the solution easily. I'm writing a document using the "article" class.

My section name is: "Abstract:"
My text is: "My text"

So my output looks like :

Abstract:
My text

And i want my text to be on the same line as my section title "Abstract".
So i want that :

Abstract: My text

I'll be glad if you can help me to manage this !

Hi,

you could use \paragraph instead of \section:

Code: Select all

\paragraph{Abstract:} Your text

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % codage moderne des caractères sous Latex
\usepackage{mathptmx} % Police Times
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{fancyhdr} 
\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\bf\huge}{\thechapter}{2pc}{}
\usepackage[nottoc,notlof,notlot]{tocbibind}

\begin{document}
\setcounter{page}{0}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\thispagestyle{empty}

My page 1

\newpage
\setlength{\parindent}{16pt}
\begin{center}
{\huge\textbf{My title}}\bigskip\\
\textbf{My name}\bigskip\\
\end{center}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\section*{Abstract} My text.\bigskip\\
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bonjour}
\end{multicols}
\end{document}

Here is my code, and what i'm looking for is a way to have "Abstract" and "My text" on the same line in my pdf. Because for the moment after "Abstract" (which is my section title), "My text" is on the next line, i'm trying to have it on the same line.

Thanks


Edit : Perfect Stefan, that's what i was looking for. However, "Abstract" format is now different from a section format (size). You know how to use \paragraph and still having \section typical font ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I think it's a bit inconsistent to use a heading section heading this one time in a different way, as a run-in heading.

Run-in headings commonly have the same size as the following text, but they are often bold or italic for emphasis. I would not mix font sizes on the same text line.

However, this is how you could do it directly without modifying sectioning commands:

Code: Select all

{\Large\bfseries\noindent Abstract} My texte.

If you use this serveral times, make a macro for this heading. I would do this in any case.
