Community
Where to get help, report problems and meet other KOMA-Script users: wiki, issue tracker, LaTeX forums and Mastodon.
Help and examples
The KOMA-Script wiki
The most important place for usage examples is the KOMA-Script wiki on SourceForge. It is available in both English and German. The most useful parts are the HowTo pages with many concrete examples:
LaTeX forums
Questions about KOMA-Script are discussed in the relevant LaTeX forums, among them
TeX Stack Exchange under the
koma-script tag and, in German, TeXwelt. Much of it has been
answered there already, so a search up front often saves time.
Frequently asked questions
Recurring questions, for example about the manual, the KOMA-Script book or the default settings, are answered in the FAQ.
Contact
The KOMA-Script author can be reached in these ways:
- Mastodon: @koma@mastodontech.de
- Email: at the familiar KOMA-Script email address
- Issue pages of the individual projects (see below)
Bugs and suggestions
Bug reports and similar issues are collected in the KOMA-Script issue tracker on SourceForge. New problems can be reported there as well, but please only if the problem has not already been reported and possibly closed.
The friends, the other packages of the KOMA-Script author, are hosted on Codeberg, GitHub or GitLab and each has its own issue tracker.
Contributing
At its core, KOMA-Script has always been a one-man show. That is why, since 2018, the collection has been split step by step into smaller projects, so the work can be spread across more shoulders in the medium to long term.
The main way to help is to pass on what you know, in the LaTeX forums or in the issue trackers of the individual packages. A reproducible bug report helps too.
If you would like to say thank you beyond that, have a look at KOMA's wish list. Those who have helped over the years are listed on the thank you page.
