The LaTeX Package “standardsectioning”

The standardsectioning package was originally created as a hack module for the then-current KOMA-Script package scrhack to fix a problem that could occur when using third-party packages such as titlesec in conjunction with KOMA-Script classes.

A long time ago KOMA-Script was more or less just a collection of replacements for the three standard classes article, book and report. Replacing a standard class with a KOMA-Script class was easy, even if users used a lot of additional packages. Over the years, the author has added many new features and user interfaces to the classes. This also led to completely different implementation of the sectioning commands. But some packages depend on an implementation similar to the standard classes.

Package standardsectioning implements these commands with the code of the standard classes and also deactivates parts of the KOMA-Script user interface, which should not be used with these changes. These are more or less all commands to configure sectioning commands. It also reverts some internal macros of KOMA-Script.

The package is part of the “Third Party Enhancements” hosted on GitHub. Further information can be found in the CTAN catalog entry.
