Converting exact margin requirements to areaset command


How do I find out what areaset command to use for a specific margin requirement, e.g., left=2.5cm, right=2.5cm, top=2.5cm and bottom=3cm?

scrheadings and longtable not working together


I need pretty urgent help (thesis hits the printer in two days!) getting scrheadings and longtable working together.

The problem is if I have scrheadings enabled, the longtable tables will not align properly, regardless of how many times I rerun pdflatex on it. The longtable documentation does not mention anything about incompatibility with KOMA-Script or scrheadings. However, KOMA-Script documentation does make note of that longtable captions can be iffy, and has a special “origlongtable” option, but this did not work for me, and the captions are not my problem to begin with, as it looks fine to me.

Doing a search I found that I’m not the first to stumble into it (I think), but no coherent question (and thus no answer) was offered by previous reporter:
scrheadings-and-longtable-alignment-problems, and longtable-column-problem-column-alignment-changes. Also, this mailing list, alas, in German: scrheadings-und-grosze-tabellen.

I have spent many hours hunting the cause for this, and I have desperately tried to make a MWE, but things are not easy since I don’t understand TeX code. I could not figure out how to make it not depend on classicthesis.sty, so I had to include that as well, but in a version that I cut out a lot of (to me unintelligible) TeX-code.

I note the following:

  • If I comment out the pagestyle{scrheadings} the longtable will align just fine. Same goes for the ToC: include{contents}, it seems. So what on earth is going on here?

My current plan is to compile two versions of my thesis, one to get the TOC and one for the correctly aligned longtables, and then splice the PDFs together. Desperate solution for a poor desperate PhD-student. If the above is not solvable, could one issue some command before and after the longtable to make scrheadings stop messing up my tables?

RequirePackage{fix-cm}
documentclass[headinclude,9pt]{scrreprt}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
usepackage[american,swedish]{babel}

usepackage{longtable}

usepackage{classicthesis}

begin{document}

% Commenting out one or both of the below 2 lines will make longtable work again.

include{contents}

Package scrextend warning when changing the font size


I am using the command

usepackage[fontsize=8pt]{scrextend}

to change the font size and I am constantly get the warning

“Package scrextend Warning: Using fallback calculation to setup font sizes for basic size `8pt’…”

If I remove the fontsize option then the warning disappears.

What is that supposed to mean and how do I fix it?

How to get the subsection and subsubsection automatically in the header using scrheadings?


How to get the subsection and subsubsection automatically in the header using scrheadings?

Complete Mwe:

documentclass[
paper=128mm:96mm,
fontsize=12pt,
pagesize,
parskip=half-,
]{scrartcl}
usepackage[ % Page margins settings
includeheadfoot,
top=3.5mm,
bottom=3.5mm,
left=5.5mm,
right=5.5mm,
headsep=6.5mm,
footskip=8.5mm
]{geometry}


usepackage[automark]{scrpage2} 
pagestyle{scrheadings} 
clearscrheadfoot
usepackage{tikz,lipsum}
usepackage{xcolor} 

definecolor{mygreen}{RGB}{44,85,17}

ihead{rightmark}
begin{document}
section{This should appear in the header untill it reaches a subsection}
lipsum[1]
clearpage
subsection{Once the subsectin is reached this only should appear in the header}
lipsum[3]
end{document}

In the place of ‘rightmark’, I want some comments which gives subsections in the header.

What I want?

In the header whatever the section or subsection or subsubsection appears that only should appear in the header not the section or chapter name which I introduce long back.

Small caps/small letters for TOC page numbering


I use both Arabic (1, 2, …) and Roman page numbering (I, II, …) in my document. However the normal Roman figures look too dominant in the table of contents (e.g. XXVIII). The lower-case Roman numbers don’t look good to me either (xxviii).

I would like to achieve the following:

  • The Roman page numbering at the bottom of each page should be of standard-size capital letters.
  • The Arabic page numbering at the bottom of each page should be of standard-sized numbers.
  • The Roman page numbering in the table of contents should be of either standard-size small caps or of smaller capital letters. (They should not run as wide as regularly)
  • The Arabic page numbering in the table of contents should be of standard-sized numbers.

The following is a MWE which shows what I have now.

documentclass{scrartcl}
begin{document}
    pagenumbering{Roman}
    setcounter{page}{27}
    tableofcontents
    newpage
    section{Section}
    newpage
    pagenumbering{arabic}
    section{Section}
end{document}

As you see, I use KOMA-Script. I’m open to using features from tocstyle, since I already use this package (see KOMA-Script: Wrong alignment of roman numbers).


NB: This question at first asked by mistake for a solution using tocloft. This is why there are some answers using that.

Signatures side by side


It’s been a while since I last used Latex, so please bear with me.
As the title reads, I’d like to have two signature side by side (50% each) at the bottom of a medical report. This is what I currently have (apparently with slightly changed author names):

flushleft
newlengthjm
settowidth{jm}{Luke Skywalker}
begin{tabular}{p{jm}}hline
centeringfootnotesize (Luke Skywalker)
end{tabular}

vspace{10 mm}

The force is strong in my family
vspace{5 mm}

flushleft
newlengthmb
settowidth{mb}{Darth Vader}
begin{tabular}{p{mb}}hline
centeringfootnotesize (Darth Vader)
end{tabular}

And it looks like this in scrartcl:
enter image description here

How can Luke stand right next to his father (Luke left, both with underlines) ?

Customizing chapter and section style (scrbook)

I have two problems with it.

First, I want the chapter heading a bit bigger and the name of the section heading should also be bigger. How can this be done?

Second, I want the chapter heading to be not indented, i.e it should be left centered.

Edit: I have now tried out the approach by esdd for not breaking the KOMA-class and I have now several problems:

  1. In the list of contents the chapter titles are in blue but the section titles are in black. Is it possible to have also the chapter titles in black?

  2. Is it possible to make the line a bit lower as in the example of Benjaming? For me this lower line looks better. Please see the image below.

  3. Benjamin also made subsubsection title without a numbering (because otherwise it is too much styling). Please also see the image below. Is this also possible?

enter image description here

Edit 2: Now everything is almost perfect except the line below the title. In your example it looks great but if I use it in my document the line appears lower. I tried different things but I can’t find the solution. Do you see where the problem is? I also don’t know if my template is perfect or if there are other mistakes. Please see below the example.

Vertical spacing in KOMA-script


How can I change vertical spacing (and indents) of paragraph, list and list item elements in KOMA-script article class? Is there some canonical way to do this?

i need

I’ve tried to use titlesec package, but it doesn’t change paragraph vertical space.

How to avoid a text body-addressee clash on scrlttr2 letter when multiple addressees are listed?


In trying to use the scrlttr2 package, with a letter address to lots of multiple parties, there is clash/crash between the body of the letter, and those to whom the letter is addressed. In other words the body of the letter, including the subject is printed on top of the last two of the four addresses.

This ends up looking very ugly: Example.pdf

How do I fix this so that I can still use the scrlttr2 letter class to compose my letter?

Help with this would be mucho appreciated.

scrlayer-scrpage pagestyle on interleaf pages


I want to change the pagestyle of the interleaf pages. My current example:

documentclass{scrbook}
usepackage[headsepline=1pt]{scrlayer-scrpage}
ohead{pagemark} 
ihead{headmark} 
chead{} 
ofoot{}ifoot{}cfoot{}
usepackage{blindtext}

begin{document}
    Blinddocument
    clearpage
    blindtext
    cleardoublepage
    Blinddocument
end{document}

Page 18 is an interleaf page and its pagestyle is empty. I’d like to change the pagestyle to scrheadings so that I have the same header like on the other pages. I’m pretty sure that I saw an option some time ago but now I can’t find anything in the documentation.
