abstract
How is it possible to avoid LaTeX putting an abstract on a new page when using article class and titlepage enabled?
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,titlepage]{article}
\begin{document}
Some text...
\begin{abstract} Some text unfortunately put on a new page \end{abstract}
\end{document}
Thanks for any help!
It's important to realize that the line spacing in effect for a given paragraph is determined by the settings that apply at the end of that paragraph, not by those at the paragraph's beginning.
Your code snippet doesn't indicate what comes immediately after the end of the group in which \doublespacing is in force. It also doesn't indicate what's at the end of the file abstract.tex -- specifically, whether there's either an implicit paragraph break (e.g., one or more all-blank lines) or an explicit paragraph break (e.g., \par).
At any rate, it appears to be the case that there is currently no implicit or explicit paragraph break between the end of abstract.tex and the subsequent material; it would certainly explain why the final paragraph of the abstract is spaced differently from the preceding one.
There are several remedies, which all come down to providing that all-important paragraph break at the end of the abstract:
Insert a \par statement between \input{abstract.tex} and the group's closing right curly brace, or immediately after that right curly brace.
Insert one or more all-blank lines either immediately before or immediately after the right curly brace that terminates the scope of the \doublespacing command. (All-blank lines act like an implicit \par statement.)
Use the doublespacing environment -- also provided by the setspace package -- instead of the \doublespacing command. Upon entering this environment, LaTeX will execute the command \doublespacing for you. When exiting from this environment, LaTeX will execute the command \restore@spacing; that command, in turn, executes -- you guessed it -- \par.
It seems that use of titling http://www.ctan.org/pkg/titling is a way to do it
Code
\documentclass[notitlepage]{report}
\usepackage[left=1in, right=1in, top=1in, bottom=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\pretitle{\begin{center}\Huge\bfseries}
\posttitle{\par\end{center}\vskip 0.5em}
\preauthor{\begin{center}\Large\ttfamily}
\postauthor{\end{center}}
\predate{\par\large\centering}
\postdate{\par}
\title{TITLE}
\author{NAME and ID}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{abstract}
\lipsum[1]
\end{abstract}
\section*{First bit}
If you want to ramp your text straight onto the title page, start the text at
something that does not cause a page break, like a section. Here's a handy
place to introduce some of your woofy conventions, like quotes in equations.
\chapter{New Page}
A new chapter starts a new page.
\end{document}

As long you are not using
twocolumnoption, this will work.I patched out the occurence of
\newpagein thetitlepageenvironment, which is used due to thetitlepageoption.Since the original code contains
@characters,\makeatletterand\makeatotherhave to be used to give@a different meaning temporarily.
