I am using a thesis template available here. I have a problem in working with this template:
I would like to have a 'normal' abstract, directly after the title page. In this template the abstract is pimped with all kinds of additional information. I would just like to have the lay-out of the usual \begin{abstract}
environment. I deleted all commands in the template concerning the abstract part, but I keep getting this additional stuff.

Since this template uses the
book
class (which is similar toreport
), we can just copy theabstract
environment definition from there into your preamble:The only difference in the above code in comparison to the
abstract
environment as defined inreport.cls
is that I've\renewenvironment
theabstract
environment and used an explicitAbstract
instead of the now-undefined\abstractname
.
