Text Formatting ⇒ Why is it formatted like that?

[felixt]

Hi!

At first I've to say that I'm a LaTeX newbie at all (at the moment ).

My problem:

A friend of mine gave me this template:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, parskip]{scrartcl}
%Deutsche Einstellungen, Definition
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}	
%Geometrien und Bilder
\usepackage[metapost]{mfpic}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{float}
%Anderes
\usepackage{makeidx}      	%index
\usepackage[square]{natbib} 	%Bibliothek
\usepackage[inner=3cm,outer=2.5cm,top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,includeheadfoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\makeindex
%Kopfzeile, ect.
\pagestyle{fancy}

%============================================================== 

\begin{document}
\parindent = 0pt

%Titelblatt
\include{titelblatt}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{}
\pagestyle{fancy}
%Seitennummerierung
\pagenumbering{arabic}

%=====================
%Alle Dateien \INCLUDE
%\include{Sample}
\include{allgemein}
\include{aufnehmer_widerstand}
\include{induktive_aufnehmer}
\include{kapazitive_aufnehmer}
\include{digitale_laengengeber}
\include{kontaktlose_wegmessung}

%=====================

\end{document}

Now I'm wondering why the titles are formatted with an other font than the remaining text is.

Additionally I'm wondering why the references in the text are bounded with a red border.

Can anyone pleas help me?

thank you very much.

[...] Now I'm wondering why the titles are formatted with an other font than the remaining text is. [...]

This is the default setting of document classes from KOMA Script. Read the manual to learn how to change that.

[...] Additionally I'm wondering why the references in the text are bounded with a red border. [...]

This is done by the hyperref package to mark links inside the document. The printed output will not show these borders. Refer to the manual for more information.

Generally it is recommendable to study the manuals of the packages you are using for their purpose. You can find them on CTAN. For beginners we have a compilation of useful links [1]. Take a look at the introductions listed there.

If you don't like the red boxes in the TOC, you can set an option in the hyperref package.

For example, replace

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}

with

Code: Select all

\usepackage[pdftex,colorlinks,citecolor={blue},linkcolor={blue}]{hyperref}

This will give all the PDF links in blue, which I think looks quite nice!

Just a short addition. Driver options like pdftex should be omitted. Current versions of hyperref detect on their own which compiler is running and choose the right driver. The same is true for xcolor and graphicx.
