Hi Stefan,
Yes, that looks fine. I misunderstood your original mail, as I thought the abstract
was not included in the spanned content and you wanted to add it. But I had that
backwards, and see now that in IEEE articles the abstract is not spanned.

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] two-column layout for article abstract
Hi Bob,
thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I entirely understand the logic, but
here is what I figured out would help, so please let me know if my logic
is approximately correct:
With the default stylesheets, the "abstract" element is dealt with as
part of the titlepage. In the case of Richard's IEEE article
customization, where a two-column layout is used, the titlepage is dealt
with with
<fo:block id="{$id}" span="all"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="ieee.title.block.properties">
<xsl:call-template name="article.titlepage"/>
</fo:block>
If I want the abstract to respect the two-column layout, I need to move
it out of the titlepage block. To do this I re-generate the titlepage
templates with the abstract removed, then add a template
<xsl:template match="d:article/d:info">
<xsl:apply-templates select="d:abstract"/>
</xsl:template>
that handles the abstract in non-titlepage.mode.
The effect of this is that the "abstract" block is moved from the
titlepage block (which uses 'span="all"') downwards, such that it flows
in a single column (the first typically, as it is the first thing
printed after the titlepage block. Is my understanding correct ? And is
the approach sensible ?
Thanks,
Stefan
