Tell me more ×  I'm just starting LaTeX, but i want to learn how
to write documents with it. I have to write a recommendation
report and thought this would be as good of a time as any to
learn. I started looking at the wiki tutorial here, but I was
wondering if there is something I could look at that's related
to a recommendation report.  One thing I'm not sure how to do is
create sections. I know there is \section{} and \subsection{},
but it's not what I am looking for. I am looking for formatting
like \begin{abstract} where it will center it. And the
subsections will be italicized and left justified.  Is there a
way to do this, so when creating the table of contents, it will
still create a full table of contents?  share|improve this
