Re: Ejour2 and single column abstract in twocoulmn mode

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi
After searching the internett and tried many different approaches I found
a quick and dirty way to solve my problem with one column abstract in ejour2.
Please feel free to make it better  :)

In ejour2.cls put:

% Define `one column abstract' environment
\def\onecolabstract#1{\long\def\@onecolabstract{#1}}
\def\@onecolabstract{}

\newcommand{\llyxline}[1]{
  {#1 \vspace{1ex} \hrule width 18cm \vspace{1ex}}
}

\let\@oldmaketitle=\@maketitle
\def\@maketitle{
        \@oldmaketitle
        \llyxline{\normalsize}\vspace{-1\parskip}
        \begin{center}
        \large\bf\abstractname
        \end{center}
        \begin{center}
        \@onecolabstract
        \end{center}
        \llyxline{\normalsize}
        \vskip 1.5em}

Then in preamble(!) put:
\onecolabstract{And write your entire abstract here...}

It has to go in the preamble because it must be set before lyx runs the
\maketitle. And this was the only way I knew how to do that.
