Abstracts
Where possible, abstracts should be written in LaTeX according to the following template (which is followed by an explanation). If you want to check that your abstract latexs without errors (a good idea!) then you will need to first download the file cmsa-abs.sty.

\title A short proof of the 4-colour theorem
\text
We had a proof of the $4$-colour theorem short enough to be written on the back of a postage stamp. Unfortunately our secretary licked the stamp in order to send in the registration form for this conference. Now we can't remember it. Honestly.
