DOCBOOK: Re: Executive Summary before Table of Contents

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Dan Cardamore <dan@hld.ca> was heard to say:
| I'm writing an engineering report and I'd like to have an executive
| summary appear before the table of contents in the printed output of
| docbook.
|
| How would I go about doing that?

Try

<abstract><title>Executive Summary</title>
<para>...</para>
</abstract>

in the *info wrapper for starters.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
