Replacing the standard classes

+

People are forever concocting classes that replace the standard ones: +the present author produced an ukart class that used the +sober package, and a few British-specific things (such as +appear in the babel package's British-english +specialisation) in the 1980s, which is still occasionally used. +

Similar public efforts were available well back in the days of +LaTeX 2.09: a notable example, whose pleasing designs seem not to have +changed much over all that time, is the ntgclass bundle. +Each of the standard classes is replaced by a selection of classes, +named in Dutch, sometimes with a single numeric digit attached. So we +have classes artikel2, rapport1, boek3 and +brief. These classes are moderately well documented in +English. +

The KOMA-script bundle (classes named scr...) are a +strong current contender. They are actively supported, are +comprehensive in their coverage of significant typesetting issues, +produce good-looking output and are well documented in both English +and German (scrguien in the distribution for English, +scrguide for German). +

The other comparable class is memoir. This aims to replace +book and report classes directly, and (like +KOMA-script) is comprehensive in its coverage of small issues. +Memoir's documentation (memman) is very highly +spoken of, and its lengthy introductory section is regularly +recommended as a tutorial on typesetting. +
