<h3>1-column abstract in 2-column document</h3>
<p>One often requires that the abstract of a paper should appear across
the entire page, even in a two-column paper. The required trick is:
<pre>
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
...
\begin{document}
... % \author, etc
\twocolumn[
\begin{@twocolumnfalse}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
\end{@twocolumnfalse}
]
</pre>
Unfortunately, with the above <code>\</code><code>thanks</code> won't work in the
<code>\</code><code>author</code> list. If you need such specially-numbered footnotes, you
can make them like this:
<pre>
\title{Demonstration}
\author{Me, You\thanks{}}
\twocolumn[
... as above ...
]
{
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}%
{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
\footnotetext[1]{Thanks for nothing}
}
</pre>
and so on.
<p>As an alternative, among other facilities the <i>abstract</i> package
provides a
<code>\</code><code>saythanks</code> command and a <code>onecolabstract</code> environment
which remove the need to fiddle with the <code>\</code><code>thanks</code> and
footnoting. They can be used like this:
<pre>
\twocolumn[
\maketitle % full width title
\begin{onecolabstract} % full width abstract
... text
\end{onecolabstract}
]
\saythanks % typeset any \thanks
</pre>
The <i>memoir</i> class offers all the facilities of <i>abstract</i>.
