General ⇒ KOMA-Script | Dot after ((Sub-)sub-)Section Heading

[moggy]

Hi everyone!

How can I add a dot after the section and chapter headings? It's supposed to look like something like this:

1.2. Introduction.

I understand that this can be achieved by using the titlesec package (see bottom of this post), but as far as I know, KOMA isn't really compatible with titlesec and I would imagine that there is some way to do this in KOMA, without using another package, but I couldn't find out how until now.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
moggy

Hi moggy,

welcome to the board!

This redefinition adds the dot for standard classes and KOMA-Script classes as well. It works also with optional arguments for the sectioning commands. At first, we save the original \@sect command, then we redefine it and call the saved one, with the same parameters plus the dot.

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\let\std@sect\@sect
\def\@sect#1#2#3#4#5#6[#7]#8{\std@sect{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}[#7.]{#8.}}
\makeatother

Dankeschön! This really helped me a lot!!

Unfortunately I don't understand what exactly the code does, so if you have a minute, could you explain? I'm guessing, #7 is the short title and #8 is the title?

Hello Stefan,

Could you give a hint on how to adapt this to subsubsection's only ?

That is, a dot should be inserted after the title of a subsubsection, but not on higher levels such as a section or subsection.
