Re: [docbook] Title and abstract spanning over more columns

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

I don't know of an attribute for the margins for abstract.  But you could
probably set left and right margins uisng the titlepage spec file, and
compile a new titlepage.templates.xsl.  That process is described in my
book:
