Packages

KOMA-Script also includes packages usable on their own:

• typearea — automatic type-area computation following classical typography
• scrlayer / scrlayer-scrpage — layer system for headers and footers, fully integrated into KOMA-Script. An established alternative to fancyhdr.
• tocbasic — base for tables of contents and similar
• scrbase — fundamental helpers (also usable without the KOMA classes)
• scrdate, scrtime — localised date and time formatting

Configurability

KOMA-Script is configured via \KOMAoption{}:

\KOMAoption{captions=tableheading}     % table caption on top
\KOMAoption{parskip=half}              % half-line paragraph skip
\KOMAoption{DIV=12}                    % tighter type area

Multilingual letters

The scrlttr2 class supports many locale variants with their address formats, date layouts, and salutation conventions.
