Document Classes ⇒ abstract | Abstract Heading Font Size

[nenu28]

Hi,
I am writing a scientific document in report class. In this section:

Code: Select all

\begin{abstract}
This is the paper's abstract \ldots
\end{abstract}

How can i make so that the Abstract text (before the text This is the paper's...) appear in \Large or \large size? What should i change?

I have tried this

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\abstractnamefont}{\normalfont\small\bfseries}
\newcommand{\abstracttextfont}{\normalfont\small}

as it said in the abstract package book and I have replace \small by \Huge to see if it can change but nothing has changed ! Could you please help me ?

Thanks !

By now you should know that a minimal example is essential for an adequate problem description, thus for obtaining specific help. Otherwise we stumble in the dark here. And concrete error messages will also be helpful.

[…] I have tried this

It goes without saying that you have to use \renewcommand(*) if you want to redefine the appearance of the abstract heading.

thanks, it works ! I just do as you advised me :

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{abstract}
\renewcommand{\abstractnamefont}{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}
\renewcommand{\abstracttextfont}{\normalfont\Huge}

\begin{document}
blah blah
\begin{abstract}
blah blah
\end{abstract}

\end{document} 

By the same way, how to insert the header from the top of the " abstract" and put the number page on this abstract page ?
Once again thanks !

Since the {abstract} environment relies on the {titlepage} environment, it would need a modification of the latter one. The side effect would be that page numbers and headers also appear on the title page, which is usually not wanted.
