set_abstract() adds (or replaces) a simple abstract.
set_abstract(eml_object, abstract, force = FALSE, NPS = TRUE)is an EML-formatted R object, either generated in R or imported (typically from an EML-formatted .xml file) using EML::read_eml(
is a text string that is your abstract. You can generate this directly in R or import a .txt file.
logical. Defaults to false. If set to FALSE, a more interactive version of the function requesting user input and feedback. Setting force = TRUE facilitates scripting.
Logical. Defaults to TRUE. Most NPS users should leave this as the default. Only under specific circumstances should it be set to FALSE: if you are not publishing with NPS, if you need to set the publisher location to some place other than the Fort Collins Office (e.g. you are NOT working on a data package) or your product is "for" the NPS but not "by" the NPS and you need to specify a different agency, set NPS = FALSE. When NPS=TRUE, the function will over-write existing publisher info and inject NPS as the publisher along the the Central Office in Fort Collins as the location. Additionally, it sets the "for or by NPS" field to TRUE and specifies the originating agency as NPS.

Checks for an abstract. If no abstract is found, it inserts the abstract given in @param abstract. If an existing abstract is found, the user is asked whether they want to replace it or not and the appropriate action is taken. Currently set_abstract does not allow for complex formatting such as bullets, tabs, or multiple spaces. You can add line breaks with "\n" and a new paragraph (blank line between text) with "\n\n". You are strongly encouraged to open your abstract in a text editor such as notepad and make sure there are no stray characters. If you need multiple paragraphs, you will need to do that via EMLassemblyline (for now).
