LaTeX
Much as with Document Titles, the standard LaTeX article and report classes define an abstract
environment to typeset an abstract in a way that distinguishes it from the rest of the text. In a single-column article, it is set somewhat narrower than the main text, with the word "Abstract" centered above it.
\documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{abstract} This is the abstract of the paper. \end{abstract} \end{document}
ConTeXt: A simple solution
The simplest way of producing an abstract in a ConTeXt document is to specify the formatting directly. The following version is a close approximation of the version produced by the \abstract
command in LaTeX's startard article class.
% Again, this is filler from the Document Titles page. \starttext \startalignment[center] \blank[2*big] {\tfd How to do this in Context} \blank[3*medium] {\tfa The author} \blank[2*medium] {\tfa July 26, 2005} \blank[3*medium] \stopalignment Then, the actual text of the document starts here. We'll put in enough text to fill out the line and start to make a paragraph. \stoptext
TODO: Find the code in LaTeX's classes.dtx for setting abstracts, translate into ConTeXt, and put in the above example. (See: To-Do List) |
ConTeXt: A more reusable solution
TODO: Write this whole section, along the lines of the parallel section in Document Titles. (See: To-Do List) |
