I'm using the KOMA-Script scrbook class to typeset my dissertation. My main question is: should the abstract be put in a titlepage
environment?
Right now, I'm doing the following.
\frontmatter
\maketitle
\addchap*{Abstract}
\setcounter{page}{1}
Sunt Lorem proident nostrud amet quis ut. Ut anim officia culpa eiusmod nulla duis ipsum. Minim et eiusmod aliquip mollit veniam ad deserunt magna consectetur. Velit enim exercitation Lorem ea. Sit nisi nulla nulla occaecat laborum adipisicing ad veniam ex ipsum in mollit. Magna ipsum ut in excepteur aliqua voluptate nostrud incididunt anim do enim sunt ad officia. Velit nulla nulla excepteur Lorem pariatur commodo aliqua magna occaecat commodo ipsum cillum sint.
This way, the 'abstract' page is the first numbered page. If it were a titlepage, obviously it wouldn't get a number (by default). Please do let me know if there's a better way to control the numbering, in any case.
