I am using Texmaker and I am facing a small problem. I have included an abstract that is already on another .tex file under the name abstract.tex
.
The thing is, my abstract.tex
file template looks like this (please excuse me if it looks messy):
"%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% ABSTRACT
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\chapter*{An Abstract of the Thesis of}
%\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{}Abstract}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\begin{tabbing}
\underline{\normalsize{Name Name Name}}\quad\quad
for\quad\quad\=\underline{Master of Engineering}\\
\>\underline{Major}: Electrical and Computer Engineering
\end{tabbing}
\vspace{0.5cm} Title: \underline{Title Title Title Title}\\
\vspace{0.5cm}
Abstract..."
When I include this file in my current thesis.tex
file, using \include{abstract}
I get the first line: An Abstract of the Thesis of in bold and my university's rules state that this sentence must not be in bold.
How can I unbold this?
Best Answer
You can just type
(Switch comments for changing the alignment, but you already knew it; note
\protect
in front of\numberline
.)Anyway, I wouldn't do anything special: the abstract is just an unnumbered chapter and its heading should be the same as the other chapters.
