I'm using a customised (not by me) document class called geogthesis
to produce my Geography PhD thesis.
When I compile the file I get an error saying:
Undefined control sequence. [\begin{abstract}]
However, the PDF actually builds fine, and includes the abstract – which is strange. Still, I'd like to get rid of the error (errors when building my thesis scare me!)
I'm using the LaTeX file below, combined with the geogthesis.cls file:
\RequirePackage{ifpdf}
\documentclass{geogthesis}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\title {TITLE HERE}
\authors {\texorpdfstring{\href{mailto:r.t.wilson@soton.ac.uk}{Robin Wilson}}{}}
\supervisor {\texorpdfstring {\href{mailto:blah@soton.ac.uk}{Blah}}{}}
\cosupervisor {\texorpdfstring {\href{mailto:blah@soton.ac.uk}{Blah}}{}}
\addresses {\deptname\\\univname}
\date {\today}
\subject {Remote Sensing}
\keywords {keywords}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
\small{Blah blah}
\end{abstract}
\mainmatter
Main text here!
\end{document}

Remember `\small does not take arguments.
There is at least one error in that class.
