This chapter provides additional information about the \KOMAScript{} classes
\Class{scrbook}, \Class{scrreprt}, and \Class{scrartcl} and some commands that
are also available in \Package{scrextend}. \iffree{Some parts of the chapter
  are found only in the German \KOMAScript{} book \cite{book:komascript}. This
  should not be a problem because the}{The} average user, who only wants to
use the classes, will seldom need this information. Some of this information
is addressed to users with non-standard requirements or who want to write
their own classes based on a \KOMAScript{} class. Because such descriptions
are not addressed to beginners, they are condensed and require deeper
knowledge of \LaTeX. Other parts describe features that exist only for the
sake of compatibility with the standard classes or earlier versions of
\KOMAScript{}.\iffree{}{
  Portions that describe features that exist only for reasons of compatibility
  with earlier versions of \KOMAScript{} are printed in sans serif font. You
  should not use them any longer.}

\section{Detection of \KOMAScript{} Classes}
\seclabel{identify}

Package authors sometimes need to detect a \KOMAScript{} class. Mostly this is
of little or no interest to the average user. To identify the version of
\KOMAScript{} that is being used, refer to
\DescRef{scrbase.cmd.KOMAScriptVersion} in \autoref{sec:scrbase.identify},
\DescPageRef{scrbase.cmd.KOMAScriptVersion}.

\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{KOMAClassName}%
  \Macro{ClassName}
\end{Declaration}
\Macro{KOMAClassName} stores the name of the \KOMAScript{} class currently in
use. So if you want to know if a \KOMAScript{} class is used, you can easily
test for this command. In contrast, \Macro{ClassName} indicates which standard
class has been replaced by this \KOMAScript{} class.

Note\textnote{Attention!} in this context, however, that the existence of
\DescRef{scrbase.cmd.KOMAScript}\IndexCmd{KOMAScript} cannot guarantee that a
\KOMAScript{} class is in use. For one thing, all \KOMAScript{} packages
define this command. For another, other packages may find it useful to define
the \KOMAScript{} label using this name.%

\section{Entries to the Table of Contents}
\seclabel{toc}

\KOMAScript{} classes provide advanced methods for generating and
manipulating entries in the table of contents. Some of these are based on
the \Package{tocbasic} package (see \autoref{sec:tocbasic.tocstyle} starting
on \autopageref{sec:tocbasic.tocstyle}). Other are implemented directly in the
classes.

\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{raggedchapterentry}
\end{Declaration}
In\ChangedAt{v3.21}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}} earlier versions of
\KOMAScript{}, it was possible to define the \Macro{raggedchapterentry} macro
as \Macro{raggedright} to print chapter entries in the table of contents
left-aligned instead of fully justified. Officially, this feature has not
existed in \KOMAScript{} since version~3.21.

In fact, the \PValue{raggedentrytext} attribute for the \PValue{tocline}
TOC-entry style of the \Package{tocbasic}\IndexPackage{tocbasic} package is
implemented by setting the \Macro{ragged\PName{entry level}entry} macro to
either \Macro{relax} or \Macro{raggedright}. This attribute is evaluated by
checking whether the corresponding macro is defined as \Macro{raggedright}. If
so, the text is printed left-aligned. With any other definition, no ragged
margins are used.

Since it was previously documented that \Macro{raggedchapterentry} should not
be defined as anything other than \Macro{raggedright}, this behaviour is
compatible with the documented behaviour of earlier versions. As noted in
earlier releases, other definitions of \Macro{raggedchapterentry}\,---\,and
now also of \Macro{raggedsectionentry} and similar macros for other entry
levels\,---\,may lead to unexpected results.

You should select the desired justification for the all table-of-contents
entries using the \PValue{raggedentrytext} attribute of \PValue{tocline}
rather than attempting to set the attribute for specific entry levels.%
\EndIndexGroup


\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{addtocentrydefault}\Parameter{level}\Parameter{number}%
  \Parameter{heading}
\end{Declaration}
The\ChangedAt{v3.08}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} \KOMAScript{} classes do not use
\Macro{addcontentsline}\IndexCmd{addcontentsline}%
\important{\Macro{addcontentsline}} directly to make entries in the table of
contents. Instead, they call \Macro{addtocentrydefault} with similar
arguments. The command can be used for both numbered and unnumbered entries.
The \PName{level} is the sectioning level, that is \PValue{part},
\PValue{chapter}, \PValue{section}, \PValue{subsection},
\PValue{subsubsection}, \PValue{paragraph}, or \PValue{subparagraph}. The
formatted sectioning number is given the second argument, \PName{number}. This
argument can be empty. The text of the entry is given by the \PName{heading}
argument. You should protect fragile commands inside this argument with
\Macro{protect}\IndexCmd{protect}\important{\Macro{protect}}.

One notable feature of the \PName{number} argument is that an empty argument
indicates that an unnumbered entry should be generated. By default,
\KOMAScript{} uses
\begin{quote}
  \Macro{addcontentsline}\PParameter{toc}\Parameter{level}%
  \Parameter{heading}
\end{quote}
for this. If the argument is not empty, however, an entry with number
will be created and \PName{number} is the formatted heading
number. \KOMAScript{} uses
\begin{quote}\raggedright
  \Macro{addcontentsline}\PParameter{toc}\Parameter{level}%
  \PParameter{\%\\
    \quad\Macro{protect}\DescRef{tocbasic.cmd.numberline}\Parameter{number}%
    \PName{heading}\%\\
  }
\end{quote}
to create this entry.

Package authors and authors of wrapper classes can redefine this command to
alter the entries. For example\textnote{Example}, you could use
\begin{lstcode}
  \renewcommand{\addtocentrydefault}[3]{%
    \Ifstr{#3}{}{%
      \Ifstr{#2}{}{%
        \addcontentsline{toc}{#1}{#3}%
      }{%
        \addcontentsline{toc}{#1}{\protect\numberline{#2}#3}%
      }%
    }%
  }%
\end{lstcode}
to\IndexCmd{Ifstr} omit entries with an empty \PName{heading}. In practice,
such a change is not necessary because the \KOMAScript{} classes already use
another method to suppress empty entries. See the description of the
sectioning commands in \autoref{sec:maincls.structure}, starting on
\DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.part} for this.%

  \Macro{addchaptertocentry}\Parameter{number}\Parameter{heading}

\end{Declaration}%
The\ChangedAt{v3.08}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} \KOMAScript{} classes call the previously described
command
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.addtocentrydefault}\IndexCmd{addtocentrydefault}%
\important{\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.addtocentrydefault}} directly only if no
individual command for the \PName{level} has been defined or if that command
is \Macro{relax}\IndexCmd{relax}\important{\Macro{relax}}. By default, all
these commands simply pass their own \PName{level} and arguments directly to
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.addtocentrydefault}.%

\section{Font Settings}
\seclabel{fonts}

\KOMAScript{} classes not only provide an extended selection of basic font
sizes, but they also let you define, manipulate, and apply elements with
their own font settings.

% Note: Instead of
% \LoadNonFree{scrbookreportarticle-experts}{5}
% here is the content of that file:
\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{@fontsizefilebase}%
  \Macro{changefontsizes}\Parameter{font size}
\end{Declaration}
The \File{scrsize} prefix for file names of font-size files described
in \autoref{sec:maincls-experts.addInfos}\iffree{}{ on
\DescPageRef{maincls-experts.option.fontsize}} is just the default for the
internal \Macro{@fontsizefilebase}\IndexCmd{@fontsizefilebase} macro. This
default is used only when the macro is not yet defined when loading a
\KOMAScript{} class or the \Package{scrextend} package. Authors of wrapper
classes can redefine this macro to use completely different font-size files.
Similarly\textnote{Hint!} authors of wrapper classes can change or deactivate
the fallback solution for unknown font sizes by redefining the
\Macro{changefontsizes}\important{\Macro{changefontsizes}} macro. This macro
has exactly one argument: the desired \PName{font size}.
However\textnote{Attention!}, the \Macro{changefontsizes} macro is not
designed as an end-user instruction.%
\EndIndexGroup


\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{newkomafont}\OParameter{warning}\Parameter{element}%
                     \Parameter{default}%
  \Macro{aliaskomafont}\Parameter{alias}\Parameter{element}
\end{Declaration}
Experts can use \Macro{newkomafont} to define a \PName{default} for the font
style of an \PName{element}. Subsequently, that default can be changed with
the \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setkomafont} and \DescRef{maincls.cmd.addtokomafont}
commands (see \autoref{sec:maincls.textmarkup},
\DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.setkomafont}). Of course, merely defining the font
style does not actually put it to use. You must make sure you include the
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.usekomafont}%
\important{\DescRef{maincls.cmd.usekomafont}}\IndexCmd{usekomafont} command
(see \DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.usekomafont}) for this \PName{element} in your
code at the appropriate places. Calling \Macro{newkomafont} for an existing
element will result in error messages.

The optional \PName{warning} argument defines a warning message. The
\KOMAScript{} classes output it with \Macro{ClassWarning}, and the
\Package{scrextend} package with \Macro{PackageWarning}, whenever the default
font style of that \PName{element} is changed. The package \Package{scrkbase}
is listed as the generator of the warning.

The \Macro{aliaskomafont} command defines an \PName{alias} for a previously
defined \PName{element}. \KOMAScript{} informs the user in the \File{log} file
about the actual name of the element if it uses an \PName{alias}.
You\textnote{Hint!} can use an \PName{alias}, for example, if you think of a
better name for an element and the old name should remain usable for the sake
of compatibility. It can also increase user-friendliness by creating aliases
for all the terms that different users may intuitively choose. \KOMAScript{}
itself makes use of this possibility.%

\end{Declaration}
As already mentioned in \autoref{part:forAuthors} of this manual, font
settings of elements should consist only of commands to select the size,
family, encoding, series, shape, or colour. Colour changes are not
always transparent in \LaTeX{} and therefore can cause in unwanted side-effects
if you use \DescRef{maincls.cmd.usekomafont} at an inappropriate place.

Users tend to put very different, sometimes critical, things into the font
setting of an element, such as \Macro{MakeUppercase} at the very end of the
setting. As much as possible, the internal use of the font settings has been
implemented so that many of these prohibited elements still do no harm, and it
usually works even if the last command in a font setting expects an argument,
for example using \Macro{textbf} instead of \Macro{bfseries}. But there is no
guarantee for that.

Internally, \KOMAScript{} must sometimes limit font changes to real font
settings. This is accomplished, for example, by using
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.usefontofkomafont}%
\IndexCmd{usefontofkomafont}%
\IndexCmd{usesizeofkomafont}\IndexCmd{useencodingofkomafont}%
\IndexCmd{usefamilyofkomafont}\IndexCmd{useseriesofkomafont}%
\IndexCmd{useshapeofkomafont} instead of \DescRef{maincls.cmd.usekomafont}
(see \autoref{sec:maincls.textmarkup},
\DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.usefontofkomafont}).

Nevertheless, the \DescRef{maincls.cmd.usefontofkomafont} command and its
siblings have their limitations. Therefore you must not use a command that
always needs a fully expandable argument inside the font setting of an
element. But this is exactly what \Macro{MakeUppercase} needs.
Therefore\ChangedAt{v3.17}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
\Class{scrartcl}} \KOMAScript{} maintains an internal list of macros that
should become \Macro{relax} inside \DescRef{maincls.cmd.usefontofkomafont} and
its siblings. Since \KOMAScript~3.24\ChangedAt{v3.24}{\Class{scrbook}\and
\Class{scrreprt}\and \Class{scrartcl}} only \Macro{normalcolor} is added to
this list by default.

Note that the given \PName{macro} is actually just set to \Macro{relax}. So
any arguments within the font setting will be executed locally, if applicable.
Therefore you should never add commands like \Macro{setlength} to the list.
You are responsible for all errors resulting caused by using
\Macro{addtokomafontrelaxlist}. Also, do not take this command as license to
add all sorts of commands to the font settings!

For\ChangedAt{v3.24}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
\Class{scrartcl}} commands whose first argument should be executed without an
additional group, there is \Macro{addtokomatfontonearglist}. The specified
macro is set to \Macro{@firstofone}. By default \Macro{MakeUppercase} and
\Macro{MakeLowercase} are added to this list.

If\ChangedAt{v3.19}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
\Class{scrartcl}}, on the other hand, a \PName{macro} and its first argument
should be ignored locally inside \DescRef{maincls.cmd.usefontofkomafont} and
its siblings, you can use \Macro{addtokomafontgobblelist} instead of
\Macro{addtokomafontrelaxlist}. An example of this is the command
\Macro{color}, which must be ignored along with the colour name and therefore
is a member of this list by default.

Note the defaults of these three lists may change in future version. If you
need a certain commands in one of the lists, you should should explicitly add
them yourself.%

a specific \PName{element} even exists. The \Macro{IfExistskomafont} command
executes the \PName{then code} if and only if an \PName{element} has been
defined using \DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.newkomafont} or

\DescRef{maincls.cmd.setkomafont} or \DescRef{maincls.cmd.addtokomafont} and
can be used by one of the \Macro{use\dots komafont} commands. Otherwise it
executes the \PName{else code}.%

In contrast, \Macro{IfIsAliaskomafont}\ChangedAt{v3.25}{\Class{scrbook}\and
\Class{scrreprt}\and \Class{scrartcl}\and \Class{scrlttr2}} executes
\PName{then code} only if \PName{element} has been defined with

undefined elements as well as for elements defined with
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.newkomafont}, however, it executes the
\PName{else code}.%

\section{Paragraph Indention or Gap}
\seclabel{parskip}

Because the \KOMAScript{} classes offer extended features for setting the
paragraph indention or gap, direct changes of the standard lengths
\Length{parskip}\IndexLength{parskip}, \Length{parindent}\IndexLength{parskip}
and \Length{parfillskip}\IndexLength{parskip} are not only unnecessary but
mostly inadvisable.

\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{setparsizes}\Parameter{indent}\Parameter{distance}
                     \Parameter{last-line end space}
\end{Declaration}
\KOMAScript{} provides the option to set the indent of the first line of a new
paragraph, the distance between paragraphs, and the white space required at the
end of the last line of each paragraph. You should use this command whenever
the \OptionValueRef{maincls}{parskip}{relative} option should recognize these
changes. \KOMAScript{}\textnote{example} itself uses this command, for
example, in the form
\begin{lstcode}
  \setparsizes{0pt}{0pt}{0pt plus 1fil}
\end{lstcode}
to eliminate both the paragraph indentation and inter-paragraph spacing, as
well as to allow any amount of white space at the end of the last line of the
paragraph.  Such values are useful if a paragraph consists of only a box that
should be printed without vertical spacing and filling the whole column
width. If, on the other hand, the box should only span the whole width but use
the current settings for indentation and distance between paragraphs, then
\begin{lstcode}
  \setlength{\parfillskip}{0pt plus 1fil}
\end{lstcode}
is preferable.

Starting with \KOMAScript~3.17\ChangedAt{v3.17}{\Class{scrbook}\and
  \Class{scrreprt}\and \Class{scrartcl}}, recalculating or
reactivating\IndexCmd{activateareas} the type area or the margins (see
\autoref{cha:typearea}) also readjusts the values of \Macro{setparsizes} if
they have not been changed in the meantime. This is one more reason not to
change these values without using \KOMAScript. Setting compatibility to a
\KOMAScript{} version prior to 3.17 (see
\autoref{sec:maincls.compatibilityOptions},
\DescPageRef{maincls.option.version}, option \DescRef{maincls.option.version}%
\IndexOption{version}\important{\OptionValueRef{maincls}{version}{3.17}})
disables this recalculation.%

The \KOMAScript{} classes provide a wide range of options for modifying
sectioning levels and their corresponding headings. You can even define new
levels.

\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{DeclareSectionCommand}\OParameter{attributes}\Parameter{name}%
  \Macro{DeclareNewSectionCommand}\OParameter{attributes}\Parameter{name}%
  \Macro{RedeclareSectionCommand}\OParameter{attributes}\Parameter{name}%
  \Macro{ProvideSectionCommand}\OParameter{attributes}\Parameter{name}
\end{Declaration}
With\ChangedAt{v3.15}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} these commands you can either define a new sectioning
command, \Macro{\PName{name}}, or modify an existing sectioning command,
\Macro{\PName{name}}. To do so, you use the optional argument to set several
\PName{attributes}. The \PName{attributes} are a comma-separated list of
\PName{key}=\PName{value} assignments. In addition to the style-independent
attributes shown in \autoref{tab:maincls-experts.declaresection.keys},
\autopageref{tab:maincls-experts.declaresection.keys}, there are also
attributes that depend on the style. Currently the following styles are
available:
\begin{description}\setkomafont{descriptionlabel}{}
\item[\PValue{chapter}:] \ChangedAt{v3.18}{\Class{scrbook}\and
    \Class{scrreprt}}The style for chapter headings. This style is used by
  default for \DescRef{maincls.cmd.chapter}\IndexCmd{chapter} and indirectly
  for \DescRef{maincls.cmd.addchap}\IndexCmd{addchap}. You can define new
  sectioning commands using this style, but then they do not automatically
  have an \Macro{add\dots} variant. To configure existing or new sectioning
  commands, you can also use the attributes of
  \autoref{tab:maincls-experts.declarechapterstyle.keys},
  \autopageref{tab:maincls-experts.declarechapterstyle.keys}.
  The\textnote{Attention!} \DescRef{maincls.cmd.addchap} command,
  like the starred variants, is configured automatically with
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.chapter} and cannot be modified independently. Note
  that \Class{scrartcl}\OnlyAt{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}} does not
  provide this style.
\item[\PValue{part}:] \ChangedAt{v3.18}{\Class{scrbook}\and
    \Class{scrreprt}\and \Class{scrartcl}}The style for part headings. This
  style is used by default for \DescRef{maincls.cmd.part}\IndexCmd{part} and
  indirectly for \DescRef{maincls.cmd.addpart}\IndexCmd{addpart}. You can
  define new sectioning commands using this style, but then they do not
  automatically have an \Macro{add\dots} variant. To configure existing or new
  sectioning commands, you can also use the attributes of
  \autoref{tab:maincls-experts.declarepartstyle.keys},
  \autopageref{tab:maincls-experts.declarepartstyle.keys}.
  Note\textnote{Attention!} that the \DescRef{maincls.cmd.addpart} command,
  like the starred variants, is configured automatically with
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.part} and cannot be modified independently.
\item[\PValue{section}:] The style for section headings. This style is currently
  used for \DescRef{maincls.cmd.section}\IndexCmd{section},
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.subsection}\IndexCmd{subsection},
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.subsubsection}\IndexCmd{subsubsection},
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.paragraph}\IndexCmd{paragraph}, and
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.subparagraph}\IndexCmd{subparagraph}. You can define
  new sectioning commands using this style. To configure existing or new
  sectioning commands, you can also use the attributes of
  \autoref{tab:maincls-experts.declaresectionstyle.keys},
  \autopageref{tab:maincls-experts.declaresectionstyle.keys}. When redefining
  a command, the \ChangedAt{v3.24}{\Class{scrbook}\and
  \Class{scrreprt}\and \Class{scrartcl}} \PName{key}s
  \PValue{style}, \PValue{afterskip}, \PValue{beforeskip}, and \PValue{level}
  are mandatory. The keys 
  \PValue{afterindent}\ChangedAt{v3.26}{\Class{scrbook}\and
    \Class{scrreprt}\and \Class{scrartcl}},\PValue{font} and \PValue{indent}
  are recommended. \PValue{tocindent} and
  \PValue{tocnumwidth} may also be required depending on the command's
  \PName{name}. This also applies if a command that was not previously a
  sectioning command is redefined as a sectioning command using
  \Macro{RedeclareSectionCommand}. Note\textnote{Attention!} that the
  \Macro{addsec} command and its starred variants are configured automatically
  with \DescRef{maincls.cmd.section} and cannot be changed independently.
\end{description}
Defining a sectioning command also creates an element with the same
\PName{name}, if it does not already exist. For \PValue{chapter} and
\PValue{part}, elements are also created for the prefix line. You can change
its font settings using \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setkomafont} or
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.addtokomafont} (see \autoref{sec:maincls.textmarkup},
\DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.setkomafont}).

\Macro{DeclareNewSectionCommand} defines a new sectioning command. If the
same \PName{name} is already used by \TeX{} for something else, the command
will result in an error message and will not define anything.

\Macro{ProvideSectionSommand} behaves similarly but does not issue an error
message.

\Macro{RedeclareSectionCommand}, on the other hand, can only change an
existing command to a sectioning command with the specified
\PName{attributes}. It does not check whether \Macro{\PName{name}} is already
a sectioning command. It only needs to be a \PName{name} already a \TeX
command.

\Macro{DeclareSectionCommand} does not check whether or not \PName{name} is
an existing \TeX{} command name. It just defines a sectioning
command \Macro{\PName{name}} with the specified \PName{attributes}.

Each sectioning command also has a corresponding counter with the same
\PName{name} that is allocated with \Macro{newcounter} if necessary. The same
naming rule applies to the corresponding output of the counter
(\Macro{the\PName{name}}), the counter's format (\Macro{\PName{name}format}),
the command to generate a running head (\Macro{\PName{name}mark}), the format
of the counter in the running head (\Macro{\PName{name}markformat}), the font
element (\FontElement{\PName{name}}), and the section-depth number
(\Macro{\PName{name}numdepth}). The command for the running head,
\Macro{\PName{name}mark}, is defined by default not to generate a running
head. The default output of the counter \Macro{the\PName{name}} is an Arabic
number. If the counter is defined as depending on another counter with the
\PValue{counterwithin} \PName{key}, the output of this counter will be
prefixed by a dot.

In\ChangedAt[2016/03]{v3.20}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} addition to the sectioning command itself, a command for
corresponding entries to the table of contents is also defined. This is done
using the \hyperref[cha:tocbasic]{\Package{tocbasic}}%
\important{\hyperref[cha:tocbasic]{\Package{tocbasic}}}\IndexPackage{tocbasic}
package. The \PName{tocstyle} attribute defines the style of those entries. If
you set an empty \PName{name}, e.\,g. using \OptionValue{tocstyle}{} or
\OptionValue{tocstyle}{\{\}}, the command for the TOC entry will not be
changed. This is important, for example, if you use another package to modify
the table of contents. If you do not set the \PValue{tocstyle} attribute, the
previous style will be used again during the redefinition.

The\ChangedAt[2016/03]{v3.20}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} different TOC-entry styles also have different additional
attributes. You can set them directly if you prefix them with \PValue{toc}.
For example, you can set the level of the TOC entries, \PValue{level}, using
\PValue{toclevel}, the indention, \PValue{indent}, using \PValue{tocindent},
or the number width, \PValue{numwidth}, using \PValue{tocnumwidth}. For more
TOC-entry style attributes see \autoref{sec:tocbasic.tocstyle},
\autopageref{sec:tocbasic.tocstyle}.

\begin{Example}
  For some unknown reason, you want to redefine the
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.paragraph} headings so that they are no longer run-in
  headings but are similar to \DescRef{maincls.cmd.subsubsection}. The
  vertical skip above the heading should be 10\Unit{pt} and no additional
  vertical skip below the heading. To do so, you can use:
\begin{lstcode}
  \RedeclareSectionCommand[%
    beforeskip=-10pt,%
    afterskip=1sp%
  ]{paragraph}
\end{lstcode}
  The negative value of \PValue{beforeskip} creates a positive vertical skip
  before the heading and simultaneously disables the paragraph indentation of
  the following text. Even though the specification did not want any vertical
  skip after the heading, a value of 1\Unit{sp} has been given here. This is
  because \LaTeX{} doesn't recognize 0\Unit{pt} as positive value. So
  1\Unit{sp} is the smallest possible positive value.

  Generally, it is better to have some tolerance for adjusting the vertical
  spacing, the so-called \emph{glue}:
\begin{lstcode}
  \RedeclareSectionCommand[%
    beforeskip=-10pt plus -2pt minus -1pt,%
    afterskip=1sp plus -1sp minus 1sp%
  ]{paragraph}
\end{lstcode}
  Note that the glue also switches the algebraic sign before becoming a skip,
  if the value is negative. That is the reason for the negative glue values in
  the example. Additionally we used the occasion to minimize the vertical skip
  after the heading using glue too.
\end{Example}

In the example above, we only needed to define the keys \PValue{beforeskip}
and \PValue{afterskip} because since v3.15 \KOMAScript{} has defined
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.paragraph} internally using
\Macro{DeclareSectionCommand}, and therefore the other settings can be adopted
unchanged. The original definition of \DescRef{maincls.cmd.paragraph} in
\Class{scrartcl} reads:
\begin{lstcode}
  \DeclareSectionCommand[%
    level=4,
    indent=0pt,
    beforeskip=3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex,
    afterskip=-1em,
    font={},
    tocindent=7em,
    tocnumwidth=4.1em,
    counterwithin=subsubsection
  ]{paragraph}
\end{lstcode}
\Class{scrreprt} and \Class{scrbook} use slightly different values.

Some settings of \DescRef{maincls.cmd.chapter} depend on the
\DescRef{maincls.option.headings} option (see \autoref{sec:maincls.structure},
\DescPageRef{maincls.option.headings}).
\hyperref[tab:maincls.chapter.skips]{Table~\ref*{tab:maincls.chapter.skips}}
shows the default values of these settings. An overview of all settings is
shown in \autoref{tab:maincls.section.defaults}. For more
information\ChangedAt[2016/03]{v3.20}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
\Class{scrartcl}} about the default of the TOC-entry styles see
\autoref{sec:tocbasic.tocstyle}\important{\Package{tocbasic}},
\autopageref{sec:tocbasic.tocstyle}. Note that \PValue{1ex} and
\Length{baselineskip} depend on the default font size of the heading or the
table of contents entry.%

sectioning commands at once. The names of the sectioning commands are given by
the comma-separated \PName{list of names}.

These commands differ in two other ways from the previously described commands
that only define or change a single sectioning command. First, in case of
error\,---\,that is if a command already exists with
\Macro{DeclareNewSectionCommands} or is undefined with
\Macro{RedeclareSectionCommands}\,---\,the definition will be performed
regardless. An appropriate an error message will, of course, be reported
anyway.

Second, there is another attribute,
\important{\PValue{increaselevel}}\OptionVName{increaselevel}{integer}. This
attribute changes the meaning of the attributes \PValue{level} and
\PValue{toclevel} (see \autoref{tab:maincls-experts.declaresection.keys}) so
that their values become starting values for the first sectioning command of
the \PName{list of names}. For all other sectioning command in the \PName{list
of names}, the values of \PValue{level} and \PValue{toclevel} are successively
increased by the value of \PValue{increaselevel}. If the
\PValue{increaselevel} attribute is used without assigning a value, 1 is
assumed.%

are independent from the \DescRef{maincls.option.headings} option (see
\autoref{sec:maincls.structure},
\DescPageRef{maincls.option.headings}). The default definitions for the
chapter headings starting with
\KOMAScript~3.17\ChangedAt{v3.17}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} correspond to:\IndexLength{@tempskipa}
\begin{lstcode}
  \newcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace{\@tempskipa}}
  \newcommand*{\chapterheadmidvskip}{\par\nobreak\vskip\@tempskipa}
  \newcommand*{\chapterheadendvskip}{\vskip\@tempskipa}
\end{lstcode}
These defaults are reactivated every time you use
\OptionValueRef{maincls}{headings}{big}\IndexOption{headings},
\OptionValueRef{maincls}{headings}{normal}, or
\OptionValueRef{maincls}{headings}{small}. As a side effect, these options may
affect not only chapter titles but all headings in the \PValue{chapter} style

The \PValue{chapter} style automatically sets the internal length
\Length{@tempskipa} to the value that results from the
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.DeclareSectionCommand}\IndexCmd{DeclareSectionCommand}
attribute \PValue{beforeskip} before calling \Macro{chapterheadstartvskip}.
Similarly, it sets this length to the value of the \PValue{afterskip}
attribute before calling \Macro{chapterheadendvskip}, and to
\PValue{innerskip} before calling \Macro{chapterheadmidvskip}.

The default values of the distances of \DescRef{maincls.cmd.part} do not
depend on the \DescRef{maincls.option.headings} option. So the corresponding
commands will not be redefined by this option.
Their\ChangedAt{v3.17}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
\Class{scrartcl}} default definitions in \Class{scrbook} and \Class{scrreprt}
correspond to:
\begin{lstcode}
  \newcommand*{\partheadstartvskip}{%
    \null\vskip-\baselineskip\vskip\@tempskipa
  }
  \newcommand*{\partheadmidvskip}{%
    \par\nobreak
    \vskip\@tempskipa
  }
  \newcommand*{\partheadendvskip}{%
    \vskip\@tempskipa\newpage
  }
\end{lstcode}
and of \Class{scrartcl}:
\begin{lstcode}
  \newcommand*{\partheadstartvskip}{%
    \addvspace{\@tempskipa}%
  }
  \newcommand*{\partheadmidvskip}{%
    \par\nobreak
  }
  \newcommand*{\partheadendvskip}{%
    \vskip\@tempskipa
  }
\end{lstcode}
The \PValue{part} style once again sets the internal length
\Length{@tempskipa}\IndexLength{@tempskipa} according to the settings of
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.DeclareSectionCommand}\IndexCmd{DeclareSectionCommand}
before using the commands.

If you redefine one of the commands used for the vertical skip in the original
\Length{@tempskipa} but still want to be able to configure the lengths, for
example with \DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.RedeclareSectionCommand}, you should also
use \Length{@tempskipa} in the new definition.
Since\ChangedAt{v3.17}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} you can more easily configure the distances above, within,
and below the headings using \DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.RedeclareSectionCommand},
you generally should not redefine the commands described here. Changing them
should be reserved for more complex changes that cannot be accomplished with
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.RedeclareSectionCommand}. An\textnote{Example!}
example that redefines \Macro{chapterheadstartvskip} and
\Macro{chapterheadendvskip} to print extra rules above and below the chapter
heading can be found at \cite{homepage} (in German).%

\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{partlineswithprefixformat}%
    \Parameter{level}\Parameter{number}\Parameter{text}%
\end{Declaration}
This\ChangedAt{v3.25}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} command is used by headings with the \PValue{part} style to
output the heading number and heading text. The \PName{number} and
\PName{text} arguments are already formatted, including the font
selections. Ultimately, this command controls the arrangement of the two parts
of the heading. For unnumbered headings, \PName{number} is a completely empty
argument, so it does not contain any formatting commands.

The default definition is rather Spartan:
\begin{lstcode}
  \newcommand{\partlineswithprefixformat}[3]{%
    #2#3%
  }
\end{lstcode}

\begin{Example}
  You want to have part headings in a light blue box with blue frame. The
  box should occupy only about three quarters of full width of the text
  area. So you try:
\begin{lstcode}
  \documentclass{scrbook}
  \usepackage{xcolor}
  \renewcommand*{\partlineswithprefixformat}[3]{%
    \fcolorbox{blue}{blue!25}{%
      \parbox{.75\linewidth}{#2#3}%
    }%
  }
  \begin{document}
  \part{Framed Part}
  \end{document}  
\end{lstcode}
  But surprisingly the heading is not longer centred\,---\,neither the box
  itself nor the text inside the box.

  The reason for the missing centring of the box is that the end of the
  paragraph is hidden in the third argument of the command. So it still
  finishes the paragraph of the text inside the box but not the paragraph of
  the \Macro{parbox} itself. To solve this you add a \Macro{par} at the end of
  the definition.

  The reason for the missing centring inside the box is that the alignment of
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.raggedpart} is valid outside the box but not
  automatically inside a \Macro{parbox}. To solve this you add
  \Macro{raggedpart} inside the box.

  With
\begin{lstcode}
  \documentclass{scrbook}
  \usepackage{xcolor}
  \renewcommand*{\partlineswithprefixformat}[3]{%
    \fcolorbox{blue}{blue!25}{%
      \parbox{.75\linewidth}{\raggedpart #2#3}%
    }%
  }
  \par
  \begin{document}
  \part{Framed Part}
  \end{document}  
\end{lstcode}
  you get the expected result.  
\end{Example}

As the example shows, users who redefine this command must watch out for
several side effects. In addition to preserving the text alignment, they also
must prevent page breaks within the headings, for example if they insert extra
paragraphs or space. The example above does not have this problem. Not only
does the box prevent a page breaks anyway, but \KOMAScript{} itself also
changes \Macro{interlinepenalty} as part of \PName{text} so to prevent page
breaks there. It also finishes \PName{text} with an internal paragraph break
using \Macro{@@par}.

The default definition of \Macro{partlineswithprefixformat} does not use the
first argument, \PName{level}, nor is it needed in the example above. It is of
interest only if you want to define several commands with the \PValue{part}
style and need to distinguish the different levels. The predefined commands
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.part}, \DescRef{maincls.cmd.part*},
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.addpart}, and \DescRef{maincls.cmd.addpart*} all share
the same \PName{level} \PName{part}.%

\end{Declaration}
These\ChangedAt{v3.19}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}} commands are used
by headings with the \PValue{chapter} style to output the heading number and
heading text, depending on the
\DescRef{maincls.option.chapterprefix}\IndexOption{chapterprefix}%
\textnote{\DescRef{maincls.option.chapterprefix}} option (see
\autoref{sec:maincls.structure},
\DescPageRef{maincls.option.chapterprefix}). If the option is \PValue{true},
\Macro{chapterlineswithprefixformat} is used. Otherwise
\Macro{chapterlinesformat} determines the ouput.

The \PName{number} and \PName{text} arguments are already formatted, including
the font selections. Ultimately, these commands thus control the arrangement
of the two parts of the heading. For unnumbered headings, the \PName{number}
argument is completely empty, so it does not contain any formatting commands.

The\textnote{default} defaults for these commands are:
\begin{lstcode}
  \newcommand{\chapterlinesformat}[3]{%
    \@hangfrom{#2}{#3}%
  }
  \newcommand{\chapterlineswithprefixformat}[3]{%
    #2#3%
  }
\end{lstcode}

\begin{Example}
  You want to have chapter headings with yellow background. For the headings
  without a prefix line, you use the following definition in the document
  preamble:
\begin{lstcode}
  \makeatletter
  \renewcommand{\chapterlinesformat}[3]{%
    \colorbox{yellow}{%
      \parbox{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}{%
        \@hangfrom{#2}#3%
      }%
    }%
  }
  \makeatother
\end{lstcode}
  For chapter headings with prefix line, you use:
\begin{lstcode}
  \renewcommand{\chapterlineswithprefixformat}[3]{%
    \colorbox{yellow}{%
      \parbox{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}{%
        #2#3%
      }%
    }%
  }
\end{lstcode}
  Unfortunately, you discover that these redefinitions result in justified
  text for the headings. The reason is the \Macro{parbox} command. To change
  this, you can use the \DescRef{maincls.cmd.raggedchapter} command (see
  \autoref{sec:maincls.structure}, \DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.raggedchapter})
  inside the argument of \Macro{parbox}. Otherwise \Macro{raggedchapter} would
  be used only before \Macro{chapterlineswithprefixformat} and
  \Macro{chapterlinesformat}:
\begin{lstcode}
  \makeatletter
  \renewcommand{\chapterlinesformat}[3]{%
    \colorbox{yellow}{%
      \parbox{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}{%
        \raggedchapter
        \@hangfrom{#2}#3%
      }%
    }%
  }
  \makeatother
  \renewcommand{\chapterlineswithprefixformat}[3]{%
    \colorbox{yellow}{%
      \parbox{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}{%
        \raggedchapter
        #2#3%
      }%
    }%
  }
\end{lstcode}
  Remember to use \Macro{makeatletter} and \Macro{makeatother} only in the
  document preamble. Do not use it inside your own wrapper class or package.
  They are only needed here because of \Macro{@hangfrom} in the definition of
  \Macro{chapterlinesformat}.
\end{Example}

As the example shows, users who redefine this command must watch out for
several side effects. In addition to preserving the text alignment, they also
must prevent page breaks within the headings, for example if they insert extra
paragraphs or space. The example above does not have this problem. Not only
does the box prevent a page breaks anyway, but \KOMAScript{} itself also
changes \Macro{interlinepenalty} as part of \PName{text} so to prevent page
breaks there. It also finishes \PName{text} with an internal paragraph break
using \Macro{@@par}.

Incidentally, the \DescRef{maincls.cmd.raggedchapter} command is not part of
\PName{text}, as otherwise using \Macro{MakeUppercase} inside redefined
versions of these two commands would be much more difficult. Note, however,
that typographic rules require individual adjustments of letter spacing in
capitalised text. However the \LaTeX{} \Macro{MakeUppercase} command does not
do this.

The default definitions do not use the first argument, \PName{level}, nor is
it needed in the example above. It is of interest only if you want to define
several commands with the \PValue{chapter} style and need to distinguish the
different levels. The predefined commands \DescRef{maincls.cmd.chapter},
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.chapter*}, \DescRef{maincls.cmd.addchap}, and
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.addchap*} all share the same \PName{level}
\PName{chapter}.%

\end{Declaration}
These\ChangedAt{v3.19}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
\Class{scrartcl}} commands are used by headings with the \PValue{section}
style depending on whether the reading is run-in or on its own line.
Free-standing headings use \Macro{sectionlinesformat} for their output, while
run-in headings use \Macro{sectioncatchphraseformat}.

In both cases \PName{indent} is the value of the horizontal indention of the
heading relative to the text area. If the value is negative, the heading can
protrude into the left margin.

The arguments \PName{number} and \PName{text} are already formatted, including
the font settings. Ultimately, these commands thus control the arrangement of
the two parts of the heading. For unnumbered headings, the \PName{number}
argument is completely empty, so it does not contain any formatting commands.

The default definitions are:
\begin{lstcode}
\newcommand{\sectionlinesformat}[4]{%
  \@hangfrom{\hskip #2#3}{#4}%
}
\newcommand{\sectioncatchphraseformat}[4]{%
  \hskip #2#3#4%
}
\end{lstcode}

If you redefine one of these commands, you are responsible for preventing page
breaks inside heading. \KOMAScript{} itself only changes
\Macro{interlinepenalty} to impede page breaks.

\begin{Example}
  As in the previous example with chapter headings, the free-standing headings
  of the \PValue{section} \PName{level} should now be printed with a
  background colour. Headings of lower levels should not be changed:
\begin{lstcode}
  \makeatletter
  \renewcommand{\sectionlinesformat}[4]{%
    \@tempswafalse
    \Ifstr{#1}{section}{%
      \hspace*{#2}%
      \colorbox{yellow}{%
        \parbox{\dimexpr\linewidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep-#2}{%
          \raggedsection
          \@hangfrom{#3}{#4}%
        }%
      }%
    }{%
      \@hangfrom{\hskip #2#3}{#4}%
    }%
  }
  \makeatother
\end{lstcode}
  With this code, area of the indention is not coloured if the heading is
  indented. If, however, the heading is placed in the left margin with
  negative indention, this area of the margin is also highlighted. You can
  move the \Macro{hspace*} command into the \Macro{colorbox} to change this
  behaviour.

  Again, remember to use \Macro{makeatletter} and \Macro{makeatother} only in
  the document preamble. You should omit them inside your own wrapper class or
  package. They are only needed because of \Macro{@hangfrom} in the definition
  of \Macro{sectionlinesformat}.
\end{Example}

The first argument, \PName{level}, is not used by the default definition. The
example shows how to use it to distinguish different heading levels of the
same style \PValue{section}.%

In\ChangedAt[2019/01]{v3.27}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and

\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.DeclareSectionCommand},
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.DeclareNewSectionCommand},
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.ProvideSectionCommand} and
\DescRef{\LabelBase.cmd.RedeclareSectionCommand} provide several hooks in
sectioning commands that can be manipulated using
\DescRef{scrbase.cmd.AddtoDoHook}. For information about the functionality of
these \emph{do-hooks} see \autoref{sec:scrbase.hooks},
\autopageref{sec:scrbase.hooks}. The last element of the specifier is the
\PName{name} of the sectioning command, as it is for the declaration commands
mentioned above.

It is important\important{Attention!} to avoid adding code to these hooks that
would affect the page breaking or the position of the heading. Therefore only
advanced users should use these hooks. In case of doubt, refer to the class's
source code for information about exactly when a hook is executed. These hooks
serve as a fallback before you indeed would need to resort to redefining
a section command without using \KOMAScript{} features.

The\textnote{\DoHHook{\dits/preinit/\dots}} hook
\DoHook{heading/preinit/\PName{name}} is executed immediately before the
sectioning command is initialised. At this point, no settings have been
initialised. Even the paragraph that precedes the heading is not
necessarily finished yet.

The\textnote{\DoHook{\dots/postinit/\dots}} hook
\DoHook{heading/postinit/\PName{name}} is executed somewhat later. At this
point, some settings have been initialised and the previous paragraph has
already ended.

Only\textnote{\DoHook{\dots/branch/\dots}} one of the hooks
\DoHook{heading/branch/nostar/\PName{name}} or
\DoHook{heading/branch/star/\PName{name}} is executed, after determining
whether the starred or normal variant of the section command is used. At this
point, the vertical gap above the heading has already been inserted.

The\textnote{\DoHook{\dots/begingroup/\dots}} hook
\DoHook{heading/begingroup/\PName{name}} is executed at the beginning of
the group used to process the heading. This is also the last opportunity to
intervene before the heading is printed.

Similarly\textnote{\DoHook{\dots/begingroup/\dots}}, the hook
\DoHook{heading/begingroup/\PName{name}} will be executed at the end of the
group used to process the heading. Currently this is the last hook inside
a section command.

Note\textnote{\DescRef{maincls.cmd.minisec}} that 
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.minisec} is not a real sectioning command and therefore
these hooks are not available for it.%

Strictly\ChangedAt{v3.27}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and

inside sectioning commands only between the \DoHook{\dots/begingroup/\dots}
and \DoHook{\dots/endroup/\dots} hooks. In this case, the
\Parameter{then code} is executed if the sectioning heading uses the non-star
variant and should be numbered according to the value of
\DescRef{maincls.counter.secnumdepth}. If the heading should not be numbered
because the sectioning command uses the star variant or because of the value
of \DescRef{maincls.counter.secnumdepth}, the \PName{else code} is executed.
Headings in the \PValue{chapter} style also take into account whether
the headings appears in the main matter.

If you use the command outside a sectioning command, the result is
unspecified. In this case, it will usually result in an error message and
execute neither the \PName{then code} nor the \PName{else code}.%

As\ChangedAt[2014/09]{v3.15}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
\Class{scrartcl}} already explained in \autoref{sec:maincls.structure} in the
description of the sectioning commands beginning with
\DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.chapter}, \KOMAScript{} provides additional features
for the optional argument of those commands. To achieve this, it was necessary
to replace some \LaTeX{} kernel commands:
\begin{itemize}
\item Instead of
  \Macro{@startsection}\IndexCmd{@startsection}\important{\Macro{@startsection}}
  \KOMAScript{} uses \Macro{scr@startsection}. However, the definition of
  \Macro{@startsection} is checked. If the implementation differs from the
  expected one, a warning is issued, several features of \KOMAScript{}
  are deactivated, and \Macro{scr@startsection} uses a copy of
  \Macro{@startsection} while \Macro{@startsection} is redefined to use
  \Macro{scr@startsection}.
\item Instead of \Macro{@dblarg}\IndexCmd{@dblarg}\important{\Macro{@dblarg}}
  \KOMAScript{} uses an internal command to define sectioning commands.
\item Instead of \Macro{secdef}\IndexCmd{secdef}\important{\Macro{secdef}},
  \KOMAScript{} uses \Macro{SecDef} to change \Macro{@dblarg} as
  mentioned above. If the implementation of \Macro{secdef} differs from the
  expected one, a warning is issued.
\item \Macro{@sect}\IndexCmd{@sect}\important{\Macro{@sect}} is redefined to
  implement various extensions of \KOMAScript.
\item \Macro{@ssect}\IndexCmd{@ssect}\important{\Macro{@ssect}} is redefined
  to implement various extensions of \KOMAScript.
\item \Macro{@xsect}\IndexCmd{@xsect}\important{\Macro{@xsect}} is redefined
  to implement various extensions of \KOMAScript.
\end{itemize}
In future versions of \KOMAScript{}, consideration is being given to avoid
changing the \LaTeX{} kernel commands mentioned above and to replace them
completely with custom, internal commands. Loading truly incompatible
sectioning packages would automatically disable \KOMAScript{} extensions
and transfer the responsibility for the sectioning commands entirely
to these packages. On the other hand, extra effort would be required
to maintain compatibility with other packages.

Package authors can use these commands as they would use the corresponding
\LaTeX{} kernel commands and therefore gain access to the additional features
of \KOMAScript. However, these commands should not be redefined, as they may
changed at any time, and then this redefinition could compromise
\KOMAScript{}'s functionality. The meaning of the parameters for these
commands can be found in the \LaTeX{} kernel manual \cite{latex:source2e}.
As\ChangedAt[2019/01]{v3.27}{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}\and
  \Class{scrartcl}} an alternative to redefining such commands, \KOMAScript{}
offers the hooks described previously.%

\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{appendixmore}
\end{Declaration}%
The \KOMAScript{} classes have an unusual feature within the
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.appendix} command.  If the \Macro{appendixmore} command
is defined, \DescRef{maincls.cmd.appendix} will also execute this
it. Internally, the \KOMAScript{} classes
\Class{scrbook}\OnlyAt{\Class{scrbook}\and \Class{scrreprt}} and
\Class{scrreprt} take advantage of this behaviour to implement the
\DescRef{maincls.option.appendixprefix} layout option (see
\autoref{sec:maincls.structure},
\DescPageRef{maincls.option.appendixprefix}). You\textnote{Attention!} should
take note of this in case you decide to define or redefine the
\Macro{appendixmore} macro. If this option has been used, you will receive an
error message when using \verb|\newcommand{\appendixmore}{|\dots\verb|}|. This
behaviour is intended to prevent you from overriding the options without
realising it.

\begin{Example}
  You do not want the chapters in the main part of the classes \Class{scrbook}
  or \Class{scrreprt} to be introduced by a prefix line (see the
  \DescRef{maincls.option.chapterprefix} layout option in
  \autoref{sec:maincls.structure},
  \DescPageRef{maincls.option.chapterprefix}). For consistency, you also do
  not want such a line in the appendix either. Instead, you would like to see
  the word ``Chapter'' in the language of your choice written in front of the
  chapter letter and, simultaneously, in the page headings.  Instead of using
  the \DescRef{maincls.option.appendixprefix} layout option, you define the
  following in the document preamble:
%
\begin{lstcode}
  \newcommand*{\appendixmore}{%
    \renewcommand*{\chapterformat}{%
      \appendixname~\thechapter\autodot\enskip}
    \renewcommand*{\chaptermarkformat}{%
      \appendixname~\thechapter\autodot\enskip}
  }
\end{lstcode}
%  
  In case you subsequently change your mind and decide to use the option
  \DescRef{maincls.option.appendixprefix} at a later stage, you will get an
  error message because of the already defined \Macro{appendixmore} command.
  This behaviour prevents the definition made above from invisibly changing
  the settings intended with the option.
  
  It is also possible to get a similar behaviour for the appendix of the class
  \Class{scrartcl}. For example, you can write in the preamble of your
  document:
\begin{lstcode}[moretexcs={ifthenelse,equal}]
  \newcommand*{\appendixmore}{%
    \renewcommand*{\sectionformat}{%
      \appendixname~\thesection\autodot\enskip}%
    \renewcommand*{\sectionmarkformat}{%
      \appendixname~\thesection\autodot\enskip}}
\end{lstcode}
  
  The redefined commands are explained in more detail in
  \autoref{sec:maincls.structure},
  \DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.chapterformat} and
  \DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.chaptermarkformat}.

  \Macro{bib@beginhook}%
  \Macro{bib@endhook}
\end{Declaration}
The standard classes\textnote{standard classes} already provide the
\Macro{newblock} command to structure bibliography entries. The exact purpose
of this command depends on the class options. Using option
\Option{openbib}\important{\Option{openbib}} redefines the commands
\Macro{@openbib@code} and \Macro{newblock} itself at the end of the standard
class. The standard classes execute the \Macro{@openbib@code} command when
starting the bibliography list, or more precisely, when defining the
parameters for the list. You can assume that many packages which redefine the
bibliography will execute this command.

The \KOMAScript{} classes\textnote{\KOMAScript} do something similar. However,
they do not redefine \Macro{@openbib@code} at the end of the class. Instead,
\Macro{newbibstyle} defines the \PValue{openstyle} bibliography style. The
\PName{commands} given in the implementation contain the appropriate
redefinition of \Macro{@openbib@code} and \Macro{newblock}. If you select this
bibliography style using the
\OptionValueRef{maincls}{bibliography}{openstyle}%
\IndexOption{bibliography~=\PValue{openstyle}}%
\important{\OptionValueRef{maincls}{bibliography}{openstyle}} option, the
\PName{commands} will be executed immediately. This will redefine
\Macro{@openbib@code} and \Macro{newblock}.

In addition to \Macro{@openbib@code} and \Macro{newblock},
\Macro{bib@beginhook} and \Macro{bib@endhook} can also be redefined by the
\PName{commands} of the style. The \Macro{bib@beginhook} command is executed
immediately after the heading and preamble of the bibliography but before the
beginning of the list of bibliographic entries. The \Macro{bib@endhook}
command will be executed immediately after this list, at the end of the
bibliography. If \DescRef{maincls.cmd.BreakBibliography} (see
\autoref{sec:maincls.bibliography},
\DescPageRef{maincls.cmd.BreakBibliography}) is used to interrupt the
bibliography, these commands will also executed at the beginning and end of
each part of the bibliography, immediately before and after
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.BreakBibliography}.

The \Macro{newblock}, \Macro{@openbib@code}, \Macro{bib@beginhook}, and
\Macro{bib@endhook} commands are initially defined to be empty when using a
new bibliography style. After this, the \PName{commands} of the \PName{parent
style} that was optionally specified when defining the style will be executed,
followed by the \PName{commands} for the bibliography style itself. As a
result, these commands must be defined, if necessary, with
\Macro{renewcommand}\IndexCmd{renewcommand}\important{\Macro{renewcommand}},
not \Macro{newcommand}, inside the \PName{instructions} argument.

If you use the
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.AtEndBibliography}\IndexCmd{AtEndBibliography} and
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.AfterBibliographyPreamble}%
\IndexCmd{AfterBibliographyPreamble} commands to declare additional
\PName{commands} to be executed after the preamble or at the end of the
bibliography, the \PName{commands} specified with
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.AfterBibliographyPreamble} will only be executed once, at
the beginning of the bibliography after the \Macro{bib@beginhook}
\PName{commands}, and the \PName{commands} of
\DescRef{maincls.cmd.AtEndBibliography} will be executed only once at the end
of the bibliography, before \Macro{bib@endhook}.

For\textnote{Example!} example, the
\Package{multicol}\IndexPackage{multicol}\important{\Package{multicol}}
package (see \cite{package:multicol}) could be used to define a bibliography
style for printing the bibliography with two columns:
% Umbruchkorrektur: listings korrigiert
\begin{lstcode}
  \newbibstyle{twocolumstyle}{%
    \renewcommand*{\bib@beginhook}{\begin{multicols}{2}}%
    \renewcommand*{\bib@endhook}{\end{multicols}}}%
\end{lstcode}
If you also want to define an open variation of this style, you can use
the possibilities of inheritance here and specify a \PName{parent style}:
% Umbruchkorrektur: listings korrigiert
\begin{lstcode}
  \newbibstyle{twocolumopenstyle}[openstyle]{%
    \renewcommand*{\bib@beginhook}{\begin{multicols}{2}}%
    \renewcommand*{\bib@endhook}{\end{multicols}}}%
\end{lstcode}
You can then select these newly defined styles with the
\DescRef{maincls.option.bibliography} option as usual.

Like\textnote{Achtung!} \DescRef{maincls.cmd.BreakBibliography}, these
commands lose all or part of their effect when \Environment{thebibliography}
is redefined, for example by using
\Package{biblatex}\IndexPackage{biblatex}\important{\Package{biblatex}}.%
