HowTo_Titlepage

How to get a title page instead of a title header in scrartcl.

If you want to have your own title pages in scrartcl instead of the default in-page titles, add the titlepage option to \documentclass:

\documentclass[titlepage]{scrartcl}

The scrbook and scrreprt classes, on the other hand, have title pages by default. Although these classes also allow switching to a in-page titles with the option titlepage=false, it does not make much sense to use it with these classes.

KOMA-Script provides many more options. If you want to have something different, you should look for it in the KOMA-Script manual or in the German KOMA-Script book. The manual also has a multi-section index. Often you can also find what you are looking for in the table of contents, since the manual is arranged thematically.

Sometimes the predefined title pages of KOMA-Script are not sufficient. In such cases you have the possibility to use a titlepage environment instead of \maketitle, in which you can create the title pages freely. More details can be found in the KOMA-Script manual or the German KOMA-Script book. In addition, you may also have a look at uni-titlepage, which offers further predefined title pages.
