What KOMA-Script can do

A bundle of LaTeX classes and packages that can be configured in depth.

Document classes

scrartcl, scrreprt and scrbook take the place of article, report and book, and offer more configuration options.

Letter class scrlttr2

Letters following DIN, US, Swiss, French and Japanese conventions, each with a matching layout.

Type area

The typearea package computes margins and text area based on typographic considerations.

scrlayer for headers and footers

A layer system for headers and footers. An alternative to fancyhdr that also works with other classes.

Multilingual

Support for German, English and many other languages, including babel and polyglossia.

Configurable

Hundreds of options via \KOMAoption{}, from font size to chapter layout.

Documentation

Over 600 pages of documentation in German and English, with plenty of examples.

Since 1992

The project started a few months before the first release of LaTeX 2ε and is still maintained today.
