Originally my fault for pointing out that this was possible (for latex and html backends, anyway) without any special abstract handling. :-) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-11/msg00046.html > The question is: how do I use the 1st header (keeping it's folding and > referencing in org) while at the same time expressing that it is an > abstract? One can fold a block manually. However, it won't be automatically folded when a file is opened or when when cycling the whole buffer through folding states with C-u TAB. If these matter to you (I gather that you have to write long abstracts), you may need to use the ignore trick Thomas Dye referred to. You can name a block and reference it by name. #+name: theabstract #+begin_abstract ... #+end_abstract See [[theabstract][the abstract]]. > How (if) can be done not only before the ToC, LoF and LoT but > after them? You can control placement with a #+TOC: line. Do you need to do something more? An OS X upgrade just nuked my unix toolchains, including latex, so I haven't checked how things work there.
