KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and
packages.  It aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e
classes.  KOMA-Script does not stop with the features known from the
standard classes, but it extends the possibilities in order to
provide the user an almost complete working environment.

scraddr - Package to provide data from scrlttr2's adr-files
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scraddr is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.
                scrlttr2 uses adr-files to provide circuit letters.  Package
                scraddr provides commands to read such files and to use the
                data of the address entries not only with scrlttr2 class and
                not only for circuit letters.

Abstract:       scrartcl is a LaTeX class of the KOMA-Script bundle.  It is
                the KOMA-Script drop-in replacement of LaTeX standard class
                article.  It provides all options, environments, counters,
                lengths and commands of the LaTeX standard class article, 
                but also several additional options, environments, commands
                etc. to make it much more versatile.  The default layout of
                scrartcl differs from article with emphasis on typography.
                Nevertheless by changing the defaults a layout very similar
                to the layou of the standard class may be accomplished.

scrbase - basic features for KOMA-Script, e.g. conditionals and key=value
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrbase is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.  It
                provides some basic functions used by KOMA-Script, that may
                be used as well by authors and users of other classes and
                packages.

                First of all it provides an extended key=value handling,
                that may be used for run-time options of classes and
                packages.  Several packages of a family may share options
                and all the options of one family may be changed with a
                single command.

                Additional conditions like \ifundefinedorrelax, \ifpdftex,
                \ifVTeX, \ifpdfoutput, \ifstr etc. are provided.  
                Definition of most of them may be prevented from being
                defined and have additional internal representations that
                may be used by package or class authors.

                It also provides commands to easily define or change
                language dependent terms and that work not only with babel
                but with other packages like ngerman too.

                It provides some commands for package and class authors
                missing in the LaTeX kernel like \ClassInfoNoLine,
                \PackageInfoNoLine or \l@addto@macro.

                Last but not least it provides commands for integer
                division and integer modulo operation, that may be used,
                e.g., inside \numexpr ...\relax or with \ifnum.
Requires:       keyval   - key=value package from the graphics bundle

Abstract:       scrdate is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.  It
                provides several operations with calender dates, e.g. show
                the century or the decade of a year, calculate the day of
                the week of a given calender date, show the current
                calender date in ISO form. It has support for several
                languages, like English, German, French, Italian, Spanish,
                Croatian, Finnish, Norsk, Swedish, Danish, Polish, Czech,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrdoc is an internal LaTeX class of the KOMA-Script bundle.
                It is an extension of ltxdoc.  KOMA-Script uses scrdoc for
                the implementation documentation and the documentation of
                packages, that aren't KOMA-Script core packages.  Currently
                there isn't any user manual for this class, because the
                only user is the KOMA-Script maintainer.
Requires:       ltxdoc   - the LaTeX2e source documentation class

Abstract:       scrhack is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.  It
                patches other packages to make them work better, add new
                features to them and to improve their interaction with
                KOMA-Script.  One main feature is, to make them work with
                tocbasic instead of the KOMA-Script's deprecated float list
                interface.  Currently patches for float.sty, floatrow.sty,
                (old versions of) hyperref, and listings are available.
Requires:       scrkbase - internal KOMA-Script package with basics

scrkbase - internal basic features for KOMA-Script classes and packages
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrkbase is an internal KOMA-Script packages, that provides
                some features that are common for several KOMA-Script
                classes and packages.  Users and class or package authors
                should not use the package directly.
Requires:       scrbase  - KOMA-Script package for some basic features.

scrlayer-notecolumn - control note columns parallel to the main text
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrlayer-notecolumn is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script
                bundle.  It provides a end user interface to above
                scrlayer, to define and manage note columns.  Those note
                columns are somehow similar to margin note (see LaTeX
                command \marginpar or packages like notecolumn), but you
                may use several of them.  The package provides page breaks
                inside note columns and synchronization points between the
                main text and note columns.

                Like most of the KOMA-Script packages you may use this
                package not only with KOMA-Script classes but with several
                other classes, e.g., the LaTeX standard classes too.

E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrlayer-scrpage is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script
                bundle.  It provides a end user interface to above
                scrlayer, to define and manage page styles.  This end user
                interface is as much compatible to scrpage2, that users
                should easily be able to switch from the old scrpage2
                package to the new one.  Nevertheless it provides several
                new features to control the page headers and footers.

                Like most of the KOMA-Script packages you may use this
                package not only with KOMA-Script classes but with several
                other classes, e.g., the LaTeX standard classes, too.

scrlayer - defining layers and controlling page headers and footers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrlayer is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.
                Users may already know a kind of layers from packages like
                eso-pic or textpos.  scrlayer is another package, that
                provides background and foreground layers, but in
                difference to those other packages, these layers are part
                of the page style definition.  With this you may simply
                switch between usage of layers by switching the page style.

                In short words: The page style interface of scrlayer
                provides commands to define layer-stack-based page styles
                and to manage those layer stacks. 

                Nevertheless using the layers directly is recommended for
                advanced users only.  End user interfaces for beginners or
                average users are provided by additional packages, that
                load scrlayer on their own, e.g., scrlayer-scrpage.

Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrlfile is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.  It
                provides execution of commands before or after loading,
                files, classes or packages and even automatic replacement
                of loading files, classes, or packages by other files,
                classes, or packages.  It can also prevent a package from
                beeing loaded. It also provides execution of commands
                before or after closing the main aux-file while
                \end{document}.  Is has been used by the KOMA-Script
                classes for more than a decade.

scrlttr2 - versatile letter class with separation of text area and note paper
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrlttr2 is a letter class for LaTeX2e that allows
                definition of several note papers and text area settings,
                that are independent from the note paper.  So you may not
                only use KOMA-Script package typearea to define the text
                area and the margins of the text area, but even packages
                like geometry.

                The positions of the elements of the note paper may be
                changed by so called pseudo lengths. This makes it not only
                possible to adjust scrlttr2 to local conventions, norms and
                paper sizes but also to a wanted corporate identity.

                Several predefined parameter sets, called letter class
                option or lco-files, are for two German letters, Swiss
                letters, US letters, Japanese letters, and French letters
                are part of the KOMA-Script bundle.  More may be found on
                CTAN or the KOMA-Script homepage as separate packages.

                Additional lco-files for different note papers may be found
                on the KOMA-Script homepage, e.g. one demonstration file
                for a note paper similar to the one of the Washington State
                University.

scrpage2 - control of page headers and footers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrpage2 is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.  It
                provides facilities for changing the contents of page
                headers and footers.  You may either configure a predefined
                pair or page styles similar to headings and plain or
                myheadings and plain, use a simple user interface to define
                completely new page styles or a more complex expert
                interface to have more effective degrees of freedom in
                defining new page styles.

                scrpage2 also provides simple options and commands to
                decide, e.g., whether or not the running heads should be
                done automatically, which headings levels should generate
                automatic running heads, whether or not there should be
                horizontal lines above or below the page headers and
                footers, to change the colour or font of the page headers
                and footers (and the lines) and more.

Abstract:       scrreprt is the KOMA-Script drop-in replacement of LaTeX
                standard class report.  It provides all options,
                environments, counters, lengths and commands of the LaTeX
                standard class report, but also several additional options,
                environments, commands etc. to make it much more versatile.
                The default layout of scrreprt differs from report with
                emphasis on typography.  Nevertheless by changing the
                defaults a layout very similar to the layout of the
                standard class may be accomplished.

scrwfile - Spare write handles for helper files to avoid `No room' messages
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       scrwfile is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.  TeX
                provides only about 16 write handles available by
                \newwrite.  With LaTeX not only the aux-file but each
                helper file like the toc-file, the lof-file, the lot-file,
                and files like raw indexes and raw glossaries need one of
                those handles.  scrwfile provides facilities to avoid all
                the handles of the helper files, that use the aux-file for
                intermediate writing.  This means, that toc-file, lof-file,
                lot-file and files of packages like listings don't need a
                write handle anymore.  So the user will have more write
                handles for files like indexes or glossaries and may avoid
                `No room for new \write' error messages.

                scrwfile also provides facilities to clone helper files,
                e.g., this may be used to have two tables of contents with
                different tocdepth settings.
Requires:       scrbase  - some basic features for class and package

                           floats

tocbasic - Management of tables and lists of contents using helper files
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       tocbasic is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.  The
                main purpose of package tocbasic is to provide features for
                authors of classes and packages to create own tables or
                lists of contents like the list of figures and the list of
                tables and thereby allow other classes or packages some
                types of controll about these. For examples package
                tocbasic delegates language control of all these tables and
                lists of contents to package babel. So automatic change of
                language will be provides inside all these tables and lists
                of contents. Using tocbasic will exculpate authors of
                classes and packages from implementation of such features.

                KOMA-Script itself uses tocbasic not only for the table of
                contents but also for the already mentioned lists of
                figures and tables.

tocstyle - Control layout of table of contents, list of figures etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       tocstyle is a LaTeX package of the KOMA-Script bundle.
                While the main classes of the KOMA-Script bundle were made,
                there where several ideas for formating the table of
                contents and lists of floats, but almost none of them where
                implemented.  One reason was, that the KOMA-Script author
                didn’t like to change the LaTeX kernel at a class, because
                this may result in serveral problems with other packages.
                The package tocstyle will fill the gap.  If it conflicts
                with another package, you simply may decide not to use it.

                The current release is only a proof of concept.

typearea - Calculating typeing area and margins depending on typographic rules
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer:     Markus Kohm
E-Mail:         komascript at gmx info
Abstract:       Many LaTeX classes, including the standard classes, present 
                the user with the largely fixed configuration of margins
                and type area.  With the standard classes, the
                configuration determined is very much dependent on the
                chosen font size.  There are separate packages, such as
                geometry, which give the user complete control, but also
                full responsibility of the settings of typearea and
                margins.

                KOMA-Script takes a somewhat different approach with its
                typearea package.  Here the user is given several
                construction setting and automatization possibilities based
                on established typography standards in order to help guide
                him or her in making a good choice.
