. Such that the user can find all information corresponding to a
single package or a single class in the relevant chapter, this section
is found almost identically in several chapters. Users who are not
only interested in a particular package or class, but wish to gain an
overview of {\KOMAScript} as a whole, may read the section in one
chapter and may thereafter skip it wherever coming across it in the
document.

\KOMAScript{}\ChangedAt{v3.00}{\Class{scrbook}\and
  \Class{scrreprt}\and \Class{scrartcl}\and \Package{scrextend}\and
  \Package{typearea}} offers most class and package options the
opportunity to change the value of options even after loading of the
class or package. One may than change the values of a list of options
at will with the \Macro{KOMAoptions} command. Each option in the
\PName{option list} has the form
\PName{option}\texttt{=}\PName{value}.

Some options also have a default value. If one does not give a value,
i.\,e., gives the option simply in the form \PName{option}, then the
default value will be used.

Some options can %
\IfCommon{maincls}{also }% Umbruchkorrektur
\IfCommon{scrlttr2}{also }% Umbruchkorrektur
assume several values simultaneously. For such options there exists
the possibility, with the help of \Macro{KOMAoption}, to pass a single
\PName{option} a list of values. The individual values are given as a
comma-separated \PName{value list}.

\begin{Explain}
  If in the \PName{option list} one sets an option to a disallowed
  value, or the \PName{value list} contains an invalid value, then an
  error is produced. If \LaTeX{} is run in an interactive mode, then
  it stops at this point. Entering ``\texttt{h}'' displays a help
  screen, in which also the valid values for the corresponding option
  are given.

  If a \PName{value} includes an equal sign or a comma, then the
  \PName{value} must be enclosed in curly brackets.

  To implement this possibility {\KOMAScript} uses the commands
  \Macro{FamilyOptions} and \Macro{FamilyOption} with the family
  ``\PValue{KOMA}''. More information on these commands %
  \IfCommon{maincls}{for experts }%
  \IfCommon{scrlttr2}{for experts }%
  is found in \autoref{sec:scrbase.keyvalue},
  \autopageref{desc:scrbase.cmd.FamilyOptions}.
