I am having trouble using \paragraph{}
inside the onecolabstract
environment. The desired goal would look something like this:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{abstract}
\title{Minimal Example}
\author{DocBuckets}
\begin{document}
\twocolumn[
\maketitle
\begin{onecolabstract}
\textbf{Background} Abstract background text...
\textbf{Methods and Results} Abstract methods text...
\textbf{Conclusions} Abstract conclusions text...
\end{onecolabstract}
]
\section{Introduction}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Methods}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
But I want to use \paragraph{Background}
, \paragraph{Methods and Results}
, etc. instead of the \textbf{}
alternatives I use in the minimal example. When I try this, I get all sorts of errors.
Perhaps relatedly, I also got errors when trying to use the \lipsum[1]
method to generate abstract paragraphs in the minimal example I give. I suspect the problem is the same for \lipsum
and \paragraph
in onecolabstract
. Is there something I can do to make this work?
Best Answer
The
onecolabstract
is a list type environment so is not expecting to see sectional headings etc. as produced by the\paragraph
command. Instead you can box the material up in a minipage:I presume your abstract is not too long, so that it fits on the current page. You may want to adjust some of the paraments set by the
abstract
package to improve the vertical spacing in theonecolabstract
.
