I'm writing my thesis using the report
class, which does not support the \frontmatter
, \mainmatter
, or \backmatter
commands. However, I really like the idea of having Roman numeral page numbering for the abstract and other front-matter items as provided by \frontmatter
. Is there an easy way to import this (or similar) functionality into the report
class?
Thanks in advance for the help!
book
class. The difference are minimal. The layout is essentially the same if you call\documentclass[oneside]{book}
and then\pagestyle{plain}
. For the abstract just use\chapter{abstract}
; there's no reason for it being treated differently.
