Document Classes ⇒ Abstract caps

[jlbfunes]

Hello.
I am writing an article and because of the requirements of the journal, I need to make the word "Abstract", the title of the abstract, be in capital letters. I have checked the options in the CTAN documentation and I couldn't find any clue for this. I appreciate your help with this detail. Thanks.

In this case there is a redefinition of the name command for the abstract name required.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\abstractname}{\textsc{Abstract}}

When using babel, this code has to be slightly modified. Refer to the documentation of babel to learn how to do that.


Best regards

Hello Localghost,

Thanks for your answer. It works fine now. However, I had two minor situations that could be of interest. First, using the code you provided, the compiler reports this warning: "Font shape `OT1/cmr/bx/sc' undefined using `OT1/cmr/bx/n' instead on input line [...]". Second, the abstract's title did not change. It did so, when I actually wrote the word abstract in capitals in the renewcommand expression. Perhaps I am missing something in relation to the fonts? I am not using Babel.

There's no reason to use the small caps (\textsc). Especially if you want the title to be in caps too, just hard-code the name in all caps.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\abstractname}{ABSTRACT}

The capitals should get used throughout the document, and you won't have to worry about small caps being defined in your font.

Hello Ted,

Thanks for your answer. Do you know something about the warning?
