You may see this, because it -is not only one class or one package but a bundle of many classes and -packages. The classes are counterparts to the standard classes (see -\autoref{cha:maincls}) but never they come with only the same -commands, environments, options and optional possibilities like the -standard classes nor they result in the same look-a-like. More about -the history of \KOMAScript{} you will find at -\autoref{sec:introduction.history}. - -\KOMAScript{} comes with a lot of classes, packages, commands, -environments and possibilities. Some of these you may find also at the -standard classes, many of them you wouldn't. Some are even supplements to -the \LaTeX{} kernel. - -Because of all this \KOMAScript{} manual has to be large. Also there's -no school for \KOMAScript. So there's no teacher knowing everyone of -his students. Such a teacher should be able to change the lessons -dependent on the kind of students he has to teach. It would be easy to -write a manual which is good for one kind of a reader. But it is nearly -impossible to write a manual which is good for every reader. Never the -less the authors tried to do so. The result must be a -compromise. Please remebers this, if you don't like the manual or -parts of it, before you'll write a report about. We hope the -compromise is a good one. Never the less, if you have solutions of -improvements write us. - -If you habe any problem with \KOMAScript{} please read the manual -despite the size of it. Apart from the guide this means also all the -other text files of the bundle. You will find a list of these as -\File{readme.txt}. - - -\section{Structure of the Manual}\label{sec:introduction.structure} - -There's only less information for \LaTeX{} beginners at the guide. -Beginners should first read documents like \cite{lshort} or -\cite{latex:usrguide}. It would also be good to read a book about -\LaTeX. You'll find literature at almost every faq like \cite{UK:FAQ}. -You should also have a look to these faqs, if you have a problem with -\LaTeX{}. - -\begin{Explain} - Informations about understanding \LaTeX{} or \KOMAScript{} are - written like this paragraph. You do not need this informations to - use \KOMAScript{}, but if you have problems in using \KOMAScript you - should read this parts too. So read them before writing a bug - report. -\end{Explain} - -Some of you do not want to read the whole guide but only informations -about one class or package. This should be possible, because you will -find almost all informations about one package or one class at one -chapter. Only the three main classes are described together at one -chapter, because most informations about are valid for all of them. If -something is only valid for one or two of the three you will find a -note at the margin. If for example something is only valid for -\Class{scrartcl}\OnlyAt{\Class{scrartcl}} this is marked at the -margin like here. - - -\section{History of \KOMAScript}\label{sec:introduction.history} - -\begin{Explain} - At the early 90th Frank Neukam has to write a student script. At - that time \LaTeX2.09 was \LaTeX. At \LaTeX2.09 classes and packages - has been all the same and where called \emph{styles}. Frank thought - the standard document styles not to be good enough for his work. He - needed more and other commands and environments. - - At the same time Frank was very interested in typography. After - reading \cite{JTsch87} he decided to write his own document style - not only to write the one script but also to have a style family - especialy for european and german typography. \Script{} was born. - - I, Markus Kohm, found {\Script} at december 1992. While Frank used - A4 paper format, I often had to use A5. At 1992/1993 the standard - styles and \Script{} had no options for A5 paper. So I`ve changed - \Script{}. These and other changes where also found at \ScriptII{} - released by Frank at december 1993. - - At the middle of 1994 \LaTeXe{} could be found at CTAN. Most users - of \ScriptII{} not only wanted to use these styles at compatibility - mode of \LaTeXe{} but have a native \LaTeXe{} \Script{} --- me too. - So I have made new \LaTeXe{} classes a first package and released all - together named \KOMAScript{} at july~7th~1994. Some month later - Frank declared \KOMAScript{} to be the new \Script. At this time - there was no letter class at \KOMAScript{}. Axel Kielhorn wrote it - and so since december~1994 it is part of \KOMAScript{}. Some time - later Axel Sommerfeldt has written the first real scrguide. The - old english scrguide was made by Werner Lemberg. - - A lot of time is gone. There where minor changes at \LaTeX{} but a - lot of changes at the surroundings. There are many new packages and - classes. \KOMAScript{} isn't the \KOMAScript{} from 1994, it's much - more. While it was first made to have good classes for german - authors, now it made to have classes with more flexibility than the - standard classes. I've got a lot email from all over the - world. Because of this I've written lots of new macros. They all - needs documentation. Some day we needed simply a new scrguide. -\end{Explain} - -This new scrguide is not only made for A5 paper. Because of the -history the implementation is german. The primary documentation is in -german too. Maybe this isn't easy to understand. But see: Almost -everything around \LaTeX{} is english. \KOMAScript{} is german. But -don't worry, the commands, environments, options etc. are -english. Sometimes my english was not good enough to find the correct -english name, never the less I tried. As result you'll find options -called \Option{pointlessnumbers} which means only ``numbers without -dot at the end'' and should be called e.g.\ \Option{dotlessnumbers}. - - -\section{Thanks}\label{sec:introduction.thanks} - -In fact the thanks-giving is part of the addendum, but my thanks -are not primarily for the authors of this guide. -These thanks should be given by the readers! - -I give my personal thanks to Frank Neukam. Without his \Script{} -family \KOMAScript{} wouldn't be. - -I am indebted to the persons who have contributed to {\KOMAScript} -in many different fashions. -Vicariously for all those contributers I would like mention -Jens-Uwe Morawski and Torsten Kr\"uger. -The english translation of the guide is , besides many other things, -obliged to Jens' untiring engagement. -Torsten was the best beta-tester I ever had. Especially his work has -enhanced the usabillity of \Class{scrlttr2} und \Class{scrpage2}. - -Many thanks to all who have encouraged me to go on, make things -better, less error-prone or to implement some additional features. - -Thanks to DANTE, Deutschsprachige Anwendervereinigung -\TeX~e.V\kern-.18em, without the DANTE server, \KOMAScript{} couldn't -be released and distributed. -Thanks to everybody at the \TeX{} news groups and mailing lists, -who answer questions and help me to support \KOMAScript{}. - -\section{Legal Notes}\label{sec:introduction.legal} - -{\KOMAScript} was released under {\LaTeX} Project Public Licence. You -will find it at the file \File{LEGAL.TXT}. Germans will also find a -inofficial translation at \File{LEGALDE.TXT}. This german file is -valid at every country with german being an official language. - -There's no warranty for any documentation or any other part of the -\KOMAScript{} bundle. - -\section{Installation}\label{sec:introduction.installation} -You'll find the documentation about installation at the files -\File{readme.txt} and \File{INSTALL.TXT}. Read also the documentation -of the \TeX{} distribution you're using. - -\section{Bugreports and Other Requests} -\label{sec:introduction.errors} - -If you think, you've found a bug at the documentation, 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 there is a new version of the part with the bug. In -this case install the new part and try it again. - -If you've found an error not at the documentation or a bug, which is -still at the updated file, please write a short example \LaTeX{} -document to show the problem. At this example you should only use -these packages and definitions needed to demonstrate the -problem. Don't use unusual packages. - -Writing this example you will often find out, if the problem is a bug -at \KOMAScript{} or not. Report only bugs at \KOMAScript{} to the -author of \KOMAScript{}. Please use \File{komabug.tex} for the -generation of the bug report. \File{komabug.tex} is an interactive -\LaTeX{} document. - -If you want to ask your question at a news group or mainling list, you -should also write such a example as part of your question. But you -need not use \File{komabug.tex} in this case. To get the versions of -all used packages, simply put \Macro{listfiles} in the preamble of -your example and read the end of the \File{log}-file. - - -\section{Authors}\label{sec:introduction.authors} -Every chapter will be finished with a section called ``authors''. You -will find there the authors of the original chapter of the german -scrguide. The main author is written using a bold font. The translator -is shown using an italic font. If there is an email address, please -send reports about this chapter of the documentation to this -address. If no translator is given, the authors are the translators. -% Please use \textit{} for the name of the translator add all the -% names of the untranslated german file. If the translator is the -% main author, simply use \textbf. -\begin{itemize} -\item \textbf{Markus Kohm} \TextEMail{Markus.Kohm@gmx.de} -\end{itemize} - -\endinput -%%% Local Variables: -%%% mode: latex -%%% TeX-master: "main" -%%% End: |
