Description of problem: I want to be able to use the <abstract> tag without the implicit title of "Abstract" appearing at the top. Can we make use of the <title> child tag of <abstract> for the title, and have no title if none is supplied ? Many books have content at the start of each chapter (and some sections) like "Read this chapter for instructions on how to do X". I would like to be able to mark that up as an abstract so that it is visually distinct for the reader. I think <abstract> is the appropriate tag for this usecase. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.6 Steps to Reproduce: 1. in book_info.xml <abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <para>This book is about the product X</para> </abstract> 2. in installation.xml <chapter> <title>Installation</title> <abstract> <para>Read this chapter to learn how to install the product</para> </abstract> .... Actual results: *Abstract* This book is about the product X *Chapter 1. Installation* Abstract Read this chapter to learn how to install the product Expected results: *Abstract* This book is about the product X *Chapter 1. Installation* Read this chapter to learn how to install the product Additional info:
