Make the Abstract appear after the ToC

Post by zingoringosaeed »

hi,

i'm writing an MSc thesis and work based on a template i got from someone.

in that template (that includes both a .TEX file and a .cls file) the abstract comes in front of everything including the toc

i have no idea where can i change this

i need to have the following format:

toc
list of tables
list of figures
abstract
list of abreviations
introduction
chapter1
.
.
chapter6
discussion
references

how can i make this happen?

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

since abstract definition and position are determined in the template or class file, you should show those files here. Files can be attached to forum posts.

Otherwise I can just say: move the \tableofcontents call in the template before the abstract or the other way round.

There is a "Upload attachment" tab beneath the input window and right below the "Submit" button when composing a message. I've attached the two files for you to your last post.

But it seems that the code for the class file is incomplete. Even a very simple document doesn't work. You can edit your last post and attach the working class file subsequently.


Best regards and welcome to the board
