[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1511 bytes --]

Hello again,

I'm working on a 2-column layout for a journal, and I want to keep the
title and abstract of each article from running across the full width of
the page (a small graphic will appear in the upper right corner of the
first article page).

For the article title, this works:

\def\ArticleTitle#1#2%
  {\hbox to \hsize\bgroup
    \setupframed[frame=off]%
    \tbox{\framed[offset=0pt,width=.8\makeupwidth,align=right]{#2}}%
    \hfill
    \egroup}

\setuphead[title][%
  header=high,
  before={\hbox{}\blank[5mm]\vfill{}},
  after={\hbox{}\blank[5mm]\vfill{}},
  command=\ArticleTitle,
  style=\tfb\se,
  textstyle=\ss]

And for the abstract, I have come up with this:

\definebodyfontenvironment[10pt][text=10pt,interlinespace=12pt]

\defineframedtext[topwidth][%
  style={\switchtobodyfont[10pt]},
  width=.8\makeupwidth,
  offset=0pt,
  frame=off]

\definedescription[abstract][%
  location=serried,
  width=broad,
  headstyle={\ss\se},
  text={Abstract},
  before=\starttopwidth,
  after=\stoptopwidth]

However I can't control the lineheight within the abstract; I'm stuck with
the default lineheight but I would ilke it to be larger.

1. Can someone tell me why I can change the font size inside the abstract
block but not control the line height?

2. Is there a more efficient way of defining an area that is narrower than
the full page width to hold these items, instead of using
defineframedtext/definedescription for each one?

Thanks,
PPN
