I never thought of them, good to have someone mention this. > Obvious weak point: the Abstract / Keywords are too late to influence > typesetting of the title (page). Of course that could be fixed by using > named buffers and/or an explicit \maketitle-like command. Something like: \def\startabstract {\dostartbuffer[abstract][startabstract][stopabstract]} \startsetups titlepage \getbuffer[abstract] \stopsetups \def\starttitlepage {\begingroup \placetitle} \def\stoptitlepage {\setups{titlepage} \endgroup} \setuptitle [author=..., title=...] or \starttitlepage [author=..., title=...] \startabstract ... \stopabstract ... \stoptitlepage > Anyway, the maps module contains all the code to do everything.
