An abstract is a concise overview of an article or of a chapter in a book.
|
|
They are frequently found in the frontmatter of academic, research, and analytical papers.
|
|
//Abstracts with subheadings are structured abstracts, whereas abstracts without subheadings are unstructured.
|
|
//^ Not relevant for AsciiDoc
|
|
A complete (i.e., informative) abstract states the key topics and findings while a limited (i.e., descriptive) abstract briefly describes the structure of the content.
|
|
|
|
The abstract may be written using a section, open block, or paragraph and must bear the abstract style.
|
|
If used, the abstract must appear before the first section of an article (at the start of the <<Preamble,preamble>>) or at the start of a chapter in a book.
|
|
An abstract may not be used _before_ a part or chapter in a book.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of an abstract at the beginning of an article, defined using a section:
