HowTo_Headings

How to change headings of parts, chapters, section etc.

The form of headings determines the design or corporate identity of a document to a very large extent. Headings are therefore among the elements that users want to change relatively often. The KOMA-Script classes offer a whole range of possibilities and interfaces for the configuration of the appearance of headings. These are mainly explained in Part II of the KOMA-Script Guide and the German KOMA-Script Book.
