+\chapter{Introduction}
+\labelbase{introduction}
+
+\section{Preface}\label{sec:introduction.preface}
+
+The {\KOMAScript} bundle is actually several packages and classes. It
+provides counterparts or replacements for the standard \LaTeX{} classes such
+as \emph{article}, \emph{book}, etc. (see \autoref{cha:maincls}), but offers
+many additional features and its own unique look and feel.
+
+The \KOMAScript{} user guide is intended to serve the advanced as well as the
+inexperienced \LaTeX{} user and is accordingly quite large. The result is a
+compromise and we hope that you will keep this in mind when using it.
+Your suggestions for improvement are, of course, always welcome.
+
+
+\section{Structure of the Guide}\label{sec:introduction.structure}
+
+The \KOMAScript{} user guide is not intended to be a \LaTeX{} primer.
+Those new to \LaTeX{} should look at \emph{The Not So Short Introduction
+to \LaTeXe{}} \cite{lshort} or \emph{\LaTeXe{} for Authors}
+\cite{latex:usrguide} or a \LaTeX{} reference book. You will also find
+useful information in the many \LaTeX{} FAQs, including the \emph{TeX
+Frequently Asked Questions on the Web} \cite{UK:FAQ}.
+
+\begin{Explain}
+  In this guide you will find supplemental information about \LaTeX{} and 
+  \KOMAScript{} in (san serif) paragraphs like this one. 
+  The information given in these explanatory  sections is not essential for 
+  using \KOMAScript{}, but if you experience  problems you should 
+  take a look at it -- particularly before sending a bug report.
+\end{Explain}
+
+If you are only interested in using a single \KOMAScript{} class or
+package you can probably successfully avoid reading the entire guide.
+Each class and package typically has its own chapter; however, the three
+main classes (\Class{scrbook}, \Class{scrrprt}, and \Class{scrartcl})
+are introduced together in chapter three. Where an example or note only
+applies to one or two of the three classes, it is called out in the
+margin. \OnlyAt{\Class{Like this.}}
+
+\begin{Explain} 
+  The primary documentation for \KOMAScript is in German and has been
+  translated for your convenience; like most of the \LaTeX{} world, its
+  commands, environments, options, etc., are in English. In a few cases, the
+  name of a command may sound a little strange, but even so, we hope and
+  believe that with the help of this guide \KOMAScript{} will still be usable
+  and useful to you.
+\end{Explain}
+
+
+\section{History of \KOMAScript}\label{sec:introduction.history}
+
+In the early 1990s, Frank Neukam needed a method to publish an
+instructor's lecture notes. At that time \LaTeX was \LaTeX2.09 and there
+was no distinction between classes and packages -- there were only
+\emph{styles}.  Frank felt that the standard document styles were not
+good enough for his work; he wanted additional commands and
+environments. At the same time he was interested in typography and,
+after reading Tschichold's \emph{Ausgewählte Aufsätze über Fragen der
+Gestalt des Buches und der Typographie} (Selected Articles on the
+Problems of Book Design and Typography) \cite{JTsch87}, he decided to
+write his own document style -- and not just a one-time solution to his
+lecture notes, but an entire style family, one specifically designed for
+European and German typography. Thus \Script{} was born.
+
+Markus Kohm, the developer of \KOMAScript{}, came across {\Script} in
+December 1992 and added an option to use the A5 paper format. This and
+other changes were then incorporated in to\ScriptII{}, released by Frank
+in December 1993.
+
+Beginning in mid-1994, \LaTeXe{} became available and brought with it
+many changes. Users of \ScriptII{} were faced with either limiting their
+usage to \LaTeXe{}'s compatibility mode or giving up \Script{}
+altogether.  This situation lead Markus to put together a new \LaTeXe{}
+package, released on 7~July 1994 as \KOMAScript{}; a few months later
+Frank declared \KOMAScript{} to be the official successor to \Script{}.
+\KOMAScript{} originally provided no \emph{letter} class, but this
+deficiency was soon remedied by Axel Kielhorn, and the result became part
+of \KOMAScript{} in December 1994.  Axel also wrote the first true
+German-language user guide, which was followed by an English-language
+guide by Werner Lemberg.
+
+Since then much time has passed. \LaTeX{} has changed in only minor ways, but
+the \LaTeX{} lanscape has changed a great deal; many new packages and classes
+are now available and \KOMAScript{} itself has grown far beyond what it was in
+1994. The initial goal was to provide good \LaTeX classes for German-language
+authors, but today its primary purpose is to provide more-flexible
+alternatives to the standard classes. \KOMAScript{}'s success has lead to
+e-mail from users all over the world and this has lead to many new macros -- all
+needing documentation; hence this ``small guide.''
+
+
+\section{Special Thanks}\label{sec:introduction.thanks}
+
+Acknowledgements in the introduction? No, the proper acknowledgements can be
+found in the addendum. My comments here are not intended for the authors of
+this guide -- and those thanks should rightly come from you, the reader,
+anyhow. I, the author of \KOMAScript, would like to extend my personal thanks
+to Frank Neukam.  Without his \Script{} family, \KOMAScript{} would not have
+come about.  I am indebted to the many persons who have contributed to
+{\KOMAScript}, but with their indulgence, I would like to specifically mention
+Jens-Uwe Morawski and Torsten Kr\"uger. The English translation of the guide
+is, among many other things, due to Jens's untiring commitment. Torsten was
+the best beta-tester I ever had. His work has particularly enhanced the
+usability of \Class{scrlttr2} und \Class{scrpage2}. Many thanks to all who
+encouraged me to go on, to make things better and less error-prone, or to
+implement additional features.
+
+Thanks go as well to DANTE, Deutschsprachige
+Anwendervereinigung \TeX~e.V\kern-.18em, (the German-Language TeX User Group).
+Without the DANTE server, \KOMAScript{} could not have been released and
+distributed. Thanks as well to everybody in the \TeX{} newsgroups and mailing
+lists who answer questions and have helped me to provide support for
+\KOMAScript{}.
+
+\section{Legal Notes}\label{sec:introduction.legal}
+
+{\KOMAScript} was released under the {\LaTeX} Project Public License. You
+will find it in the file \File{lppl.txt}. An unofficial German-language
+translation is also available in \File{lppl-de.txt} and is valid for all
+German-speaking countries.
+
+\iffree{This document and the \KOMAScript{} bundle are provided ``as is'' and
+without warranty of any kind.}%
+{Please note: the printed version of this guide is not free under the
+conditions of the LaTeX{} Project Public Licence. If you need a free version
+of this guide, use the version that is provided as part of the \KOMAScript{}
+bundle.}
+
+\section{Installation}\label{sec:introduction.installation}
+Installation information can be found in the file \File{INSTALL.txt}. You
+should also read the documentation that comes with the \TeX{} distribution you
+are using.
+
+\section{Bugreports and Other Requests}
+\label{sec:introduction.errors}
+
+If you think you have found an error in the documentation or a bug in one of
+the \KOMAScript{} classes, one of the \KOMAScript{} packages, or another
+part of \KOMAScript{}, please do the following: first have a look at
+CTAN to see if a newer version of \KOMAScript{} is available; in this case
+install the applicable section and try again.
+
+If you are using the most recent version of \KOMAScript and still have a
+bug, please provide a short \LaTeX{} document that demonstrates the problem. You
+should only use the packages and definitions needed to demonstrate the
+problem; do not use any unusual packages.
+
+By preparing such an example it often becomes clear whether the problem is
+truly a \KOMAScript{} bug or something else. Please report \KOMAScript{} (only)
+bugs to the author of \KOMAScript{}. Please use \File{komabug.tex}, an
+interactive \LaTeX{} document, to generate your bug report and send it to the
+address you may find at \File{komabug.tex}.
+
+If you want to ask your question in a newsgroup or mailing list, you
+should also include such an example as part of your question, but in this
+case, using \File{komabug.tex} is not necessary. To find out the version
+numbers of all packages in use, simply put \Macro{listfiles} in the preamble of
+your example and read the end of the \File{log}-file.
+
+
+\section{Additional Informations}
+\label{sec:introduction.moreinfos}
+
+Once you become an experienced \KOMAScript{} user you may want to look at some
+more advanced examples and information. These you will find on the
+\KOMAScript{} documentation web site \cite{homepage}. The main
+language of the site is German, but nevertheless English is
+welcome.
