Part I.

KOMA - Script for Authors

This part provides information for writers of articles, reports, books, and letters. The average
user is probably less interested in how things are implemented in KOMA - Script and what
pitfalls exist. Also, normal users aren’t interested in obsolete options and instructions. They
want to know how to achieve things using current options and instructions, and perhaps in
some background information about typography.
The few passages in this part which contain extra information and explanations that may be
of less interest for the impatient reader are set in a sans-serif typeface and can be skipped if de-
sired. For those who are interested in more information about the implementation, side-effects
with other packages, or obsolete options and instructions, please refer to part II beginning on
page 317. That part of the KOMA - Script guide also describes all the features that were created
specially for authors of packages and classes.
