Changes

As with [[Document Titles]], to replicate the spirit of the LaTeX environment, we might want to separate the document formatting commands from the actual text of the abstract. ThusThe low-level Context command <cmd>definestartstop</cmd> defines a pair of <cmd>start</cmd> - <cmd>stop</cmd> commands, so we can define an <code>abstract</code> environment using the following commands:

\def\startabstract{%definestartstop [abstract] [before={\midaligned{\bf Abstract} \startnarrower[2*middle]}, after={\def\stopabstract{%stopnarrower \stopnarrowerblank[big]}]

<context>\starttext\midaligned{\bf Abstract}\startnarrower[2*middle[Category:From LaTeX]This is the document's abstract. It contains enough text for two lines, but no more.\stopnarrower\blank[big] This is the main text of the document. Like the abstract, it contains enough textfor two lines, to show the margins.\stoptext</context>
