Could we please not adopt the “tl;dr” thing? Just cast the abstract in italics, and shift it to the right.
I also would prefer “Abstract:” to “tl;dr:” just because the latter is, to me, language-aesthetically ugly, and also a bad fit: it’s kind of like a strained metaphor that doesn’t really add to the message.
Or use the words “abstract”, “summary” or “précis”, even.
I like “tl;dr”—it gives a refreshing air of disrepute to our site. It’s a little like quoting anime fanfiction in that respect.
Heartily seconded.
Yeah, just hurry up and whip out your thesis in its proper organizational context.
