Hi, I am rewriting an art icle to a chapter of my PhD thesis and for the time being I am using the report class. I would like my chapters to start with a page containing the chapter title and an abstract summarising the contents of the chapter. I tried to do this in the 'report' class but I encounter a few problems: - The abstract is typeset on page of its own. - After an abstract the page counter is reset. I guess report is not the right class to to this. Can somebody point me a class where I can achieve the following: 1) A chapter starts with a page containing the title and abstract, with a sane pagenumbering 2) I would like to have an bibliography at the end of each chapter. (I will have a look at chapterbib) 3) I do not want to have the chapter titles start with 'Chapter X' 4) I would like to be able to use the \frontmatter and \mainmatter commando's
I think the standard book and its equivalent from komascript are good candidates, but I still don't know how to achieve 1). Can somebody give me some advice on how to achieve want I want? Another class or just a clever latex package? I have seen a few PhD theses written in LaTeX with this layout, so it has to be possible. Thanks in advance!
