i have to adhere to a style guide which dictates newline after a chapter/section/etc number, i.e. instead of the usual
1.2 Heading
its supposed to be
1.2
Heading
This has to work for both the headings themselves and for the TOC. So far i'm using an ugly clutch by simply writing \section{\\Heading}
, which causes some problems, e.g. with the hyperref
package. I'm using KOMA-Script (scrreprt
), and tried solving this by redefining \sectionformat
, which sadly ignores any \newline
commands. Is there a clean way to achieve this? I know there is the twolinechapter
option which kind of solves it for the chapter headings, although not for the TOC or any other sectioning commands.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I found another clutch, which works for the headings and is probably also applicable in some way to the TOC (don't know how to format TOC items jet, will try to find out):
\renewcommand*{\chapterformat}{\makebox[0pt][l]{\raisebox{17.5pt}{\thechapter}}}
This simply raises the numbering, and the \makebox
avoids the indenting (negative \vspace
/ \hspace
doesn't work for some reason). Doesn't feel right, but at least better than a newline the beginning of the heading itself.
EDIT A minimal Example of my current method:
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{blindtext}
% Styling the Headings
\renewcommand*{\chapterformat}{\makebox[0pt][l]{\raisebox{17.5pt}{\thechapter}}}
\renewcommand*{\sectionformat}{\makebox[0pt][l]{\raisebox{17.5pt}\thesection}}
\renewcommand*{\subsectionformat}{\makebox[0pt][l]{\raisebox{12pt}\thesubsection}}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\blinddocument
\end{document}
Now all that remains is Styling the TOC. Is there a similar version of \chapterformat
(etc.) for the TOC? I know I can redefine the TOC indents with \RedeclareSectionCommand
, and set different toc styles. But nothing similar to what I want to achieve.

Second Update
Since version 3.20 you can use option
tocbreakafternumber
in\RedeclareSectionCommands
to get a break after the sectioning numbers TOC.The result is the same as in the pictures below.
Update
Since version 3.19 the recommended way to change the order or the layout of the sectioning numbers and text is redefining commands
\chapterlinesformat
,\chapterlineswithprefixformat
,\sectionlinesformat
and\sectioncatchphraseformat
.Additional I have tested the hack/workaround in my original answer for the TOC with the pre-release of the next KOMA-Script version (3.20). With this upcoming version simple redefining
\numberline
has no effect. You could appended code to\numberline
but at the moment I would suggest to redefine\addtocentrydefault
. Maybe in the future there will be a specialtocstyle
that defines your needed style for the toc entries automatically.Original answer:
Somebody has asked Markus Kohm a similar question. So there is now a suggestion for the headings on the KOMA-Script website (German):
Note: This code is a workaround and uses KOMA-Script internals. It works with the current version 3.18 But maybe it will not work with future releases.
Additionally here is a workaround/hack for the table of contents also based on an idea of Markus:
Or without
toc=flat
