Basic information:

I am writing a thesis using PdfLaTeX in TexMaker, based on a modified template provided by my university. The document is styled using a .cls file, and I am managing the bibliography with a .bib file, using Biber as the backend.

The .cls file has a \abstractpage command defined.

The command in the .cls file is defined as:

\newcommand{\abstractpage}[6]{ %definicja strony ze streszczeniami \setstretch{1.4} % od tego miejsca interlinia 1.5; pierwotnie ustawiono \onehalfspacing ale obecna wersja bardziej odpowiada wersji .doc \null \vfill \begin{center} \textbf{Streszczenie}\\ \end{center} \noindent \textbf{#1}\\[1.5ex] {#2} \\[4ex] S{\l}owa kluczowe -- {#3} \vfill \begin{center} \textbf{Summary}\\ \end{center} \noindent \textbf{#4}\\[1.5ex] \\[4ex] \vfill \pagestyle{empty} \newpage \null \pagestyle{empty} \newpage \pagestyle{plain} }

and used in the .tex file as:

\abstractpage {title PL} {Some text} {tags} {title EN} {some text} {tags}

Error: The problem I receive is that not the whole text provided in \abstractpage is compiled in the document. Specifically, the text and tags of the English summary are missing. The compiler does not output any error.

Not the whole abstract is being compiled

I expect it to look like this:

Correct version

  1. During running a not modified version of the template, the error does not occur.
  2. I copy-pasted the whole command once again (from the default file) but it does not help.
  3. Using the \abstractpage command in a plain file does reproduce this error in my case.
  4. The whole .cls file can be found in the GitHub repository here.

I suspect, that the commands somehow conflict with each other or the syntax could be wrong somewhere, but I cannot detect in which place.

  • What's the difference between the modified and unmodified versions? Which text are you wondering about? If it's the "some text" and "tags" following the "title EN", that's because you've deleted the #5 and #6 that would use those arguments. Otherwise, can you put this command into a complete document so that we can compile and see the same result? Commented Aug 20, 2024 at 20:32
  • as the comment above says you have a definition that takes 6 arguments but does not use #5 or #6 so those two text arguments do not get used. what output did you expect? Commented Aug 20, 2024 at 20:36
  • Hello, I edited the post. The \abstractpage should not be changed between template and abstract. I just want to change the inputs between old and new(thesis) .tex files. Commented Aug 20, 2024 at 20:42

    please do no edit answers in to question posts, it spoils the question and answer format of the site. Glad you got it working bit I'll vote to close as unclear as there wasn't really enough information for anyone but you to answer. Commented Aug 20, 2024 at 21:10

As noted in the comments, the original command took 6 arguments (the \newcommand{\abstractpage}[6]), but did not use #5 nor #6.

From OP: I managed it to work. The correct version of the function looks like this:

\newcommand{\abstractpage}[6]{ %definicja strony ze streszczeniami \setstretch{1.4} % od tego miejsca interlinia 1.5; pierwotnie ustawiono \onehalfspacing ale obecna wersja bardziej odpowiada wersji .doc \null \vfill \begin{center} \textbf{Streszczenie}\\ \end{center} \noindent \textbf{#1}\\[1.5ex] {#2} \\[4ex] S{\l}owa kluczowe -- {#3} \vfill \begin{center} \textbf{Summary}\\ \end{center} \noindent \textbf{#4}\\[1.5ex] {#5} \\[4ex] Keywords -- {#6} \vfill \pagestyle{empty} \newpage \null \pagestyle{empty} \newpage \pagestyle{plain} }

The template was using \selecthyphenation{english} before #n, which provided me a different error. I incautiously removed the entire line containing \selecthyphenation{english}#n, which resolved the error but resulted in reduced output.
