  A common element in a document is an epigraph or quotation that is set above
  or below a chapter or section heading, typically right-justified.  The
  epigraph and its source are usually specially formatted.%
}{%
  A common element in a document is an epigraph or quotation that is set above
  or below a chapter or section heading, along with a reference to the source
  and its own formatting.%
} %
\KOMAScript{} refers to such an epigraph as a \emph{dictum}.

\begin{Declaration}
  \Macro{dictum}\OParameter{author}\Parameter{text}%
  \Macro{dictumwidth}%
  \Macro{dictumauthorformat}\Parameter{author}%

You can set such a saying with the help of the \Macro{dictum} command. %
\IfThisCommonLabelBase{maincls}{%
  This\textnote{Hint!} macro can be included in the mandatory argument of
  either the \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setchapterpreamble} or the
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setpartpreamble} command. However, this is not
  obligatory.\par%
}{}%
The dictum, along with an optional \PName{author}, is inserted in a
\Macro{parbox}\IndexCmd{parbox} (see \cite{latex:usrguide}) of width
\Macro{dictumwidth}. However, \Macro{dictumwidth} is not a length which can be
set with \Macro{setlength}. It is a macro that can be redefined using
\Macro{renewcommand}. The default is \PValue{0.3333\Length{textwidth}}, which
is one third of the text width. The box itself is aligned with the command
\Macro{raggeddictum}. The default is \Macro{raggedleft}\IndexCmd{raggedleft},
that is, right justified. \Macro{raggeddictum} can be redefined
with \IfThisCommonLabelBase{scrextend}{% Umbruchoptimierung
}{the help of }\Macro{renewcommand}.

You can align the \PName{dictum} within the box using
\Macro{raggeddictumtext}\important{\Macro{raggeddictumtext}}.
The default is \Macro{raggedright}\IndexCmd{raggedright}, that is, left
justified. You can also redefine this macro with \Macro{renewcommand}.%

If an \PName{author} is defined, it is separated from the \PName{dictum} by
a horizontal rule spanning the full width of the \Macro{parbox}. This%

rule is defined in \Macro{dictumrule}\important{\Macro{dictumrule}} as a
vertical object with
\begin{lstcode}
  \newcommand*{\dictumrule}{\vskip-1ex\hrulefill\par}
\end{lstcode}

The \Macro{raggeddictumauthor}\important{\Macro{raggeddictumauthor}} command
defines the alignment for the rule and the \PName{author}. The default is
\Macro{raggedleft}. This command can also be redefined using
\Macro{renewcommand}. The format is defined with
\Macro{dictumauthorformat}\important{\Macro{dictumauthorformat}}. This macro
expects the \PName{author} text as its argument. By default
\Macro{dictumauthorformat} is defined as
\begin{lstcode}
  \newcommand*{\dictumauthorformat}[1]{(#1)}
\end{lstcode}
Thus the \PName{author} is set enclosed in rounded parentheses.
\BeginIndexGroup
\BeginIndex{FontElement}{dictumauthor}\LabelFontElement{dictumauthor}%
For the \FontElement{dictumauthor}\important{\FontElement{dictumauthor}}
element, you can define a different font than that used for the
\DescRef{\LabelBase.fontelement.dictum} element. The default settings are
listed in \autoref{tab:maincls.dictumfont}. Changes can be made using the
\DescRef{\ThisCommonLabelBase.cmd.setkomafont} and
\DescRef{\ThisCommonLabelBase.cmd.addtokomafont} commands (see
\autoref{sec:\ThisCommonLabelBase.textmarkup},
\DescPageRef{\ThisCommonLabelBase.cmd.setkomafont}).%
\EndIndexGroup

\IfThisCommonLabelBase{maincls}{%
  If you use \Macro{dictum} within the
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setchapterpreamble} or
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setpartpreamble} macro, \Length{textwidth} is not the
  width of the whole text body but the current text width. If
  \Macro{dictumwidth} is set to \PValue{.5\Length{textwidth}} and
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setchapterpreamble} has an optional width of
  \PValue{.5\Length{textwidth}} too, you will get a box with a width one
  quarter of the text width.  The horizontal positioning of the dictum inside
  the box is always done with \Macro{raggeddictum}. The optional argument for
  horizontal positioning which is implemented for these two commands has no
  effect to the \Macro{text}.  If you use \Macro{dictum} you should
  refrain from setting the optional width for
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setchapterpreamble} or
  \DescRef{maincls.cmd.setpartpreamble}.

  If\textnote{Hint!} you have more than one dictum, one under another, you
  should separate them by an additional vertical space, which is easily
  accomplished using the \Macro{bigskip}\IndexCmd{bigskip} command.%
  \iftrue%
}{\csname iffalse\endcsname}

 \begin{Example}
   You are writing a chapter about modern marriage, and you want to place a
   dictum in the preamble to the chapter heading. You write:
\begin{lstcode}
  \setchapterpreamble[u]{%
    \dictum[Schiller]{So pause ye who would link your fates~\dots}}
  \chapter{Modern Marriage}
\end{lstcode}
  The output would look as follows:
  \begin{ShowOutput}
    {\usekomafont{disposition}\usekomafont{chapter}%
      17\enskip Modern Marriage\par} \vspace{\baselineskip}
    \dictum[Schiller]{So pause ye who would link 
      your fates~\dots}
  \end{ShowOutput}
	
  If you want the dictum to span only a quarter of the text width
  rather than a third, you can redefine \Macro{dictumwidth} this way:
\begin{lstcode}
  \renewcommand*{\dictumwidth}{.25\textwidth}
\end{lstcode}
\end{Example}

\IfThisCommonLabelBase{maincls}{}{% Umbruchkorrekturtext
  At this point, note the \Package{ragged2e}\important{\Package{ragged2e}}%
  \IndexPackage{ragged2e} package, with which you can produce unjustified text
  that uses hyphenation (see \cite{package:ragged2e}).%
