I'm trying to use scrlayer-scrpage with a twosided document using the scrartcl class but somehow can't manage to format the plain pagestyle in a way that is similar to the scrheadings style. I prepared the following MWE – thanks in advance!

\documentclass[12,a4paper,twoside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[automark,headsepline,footsepline,markcase=nouppercase]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\renewcommand*{\sectionmarkformat}{}
\renewcommand*{\subsectionmarkformat}{}
\renewcommand*{\headfont}{\normalfont}
\automark[subsection]{section}
\chead{\leftmark}
\cfoot{\pagemark}
\ihead{}
\ohead{}
\ifoot{}
\ofoot{}

\begin{document}

\pagestyle{scrheadings}

\section{Blah.}

Blah.

\newpage

\section{Blah.}

Blah.

\newpage

\pagestyle{plain.scrheadings}


\section{Blah.}

Blah.

\newpage

\section{Blah.}

Blah.

\end{document}

    Do \cfoot*{\pagemark} (note the asterisk) and do similar for the other instances. – Johannes_B Jun 28 '16 at 20:23

    A different question would be why you are using a plain pagestyle, when an article class generally use one. All the \newpage in your code are clues, that you should have used a report (or een book) class. – Johannes_B Jun 28 '16 at 20:32
  • Thanks for your solution! It seems as if the problem is created by my local tex destribution as it works when I try the starred commands on Overleaf. The \newpage commands were only for illustrative purposes btw :) – JKR Jun 28 '16 at 20:59
  • You might have an old (older than two years?) distribution, which an update could resolve. – Johannes_B Jun 28 '16 at 21:00

To format the plain pagestyle use the optional argument of \cfoot etc:

\cfoot[<settings for plain>]{<settings for scrheadings>}

If both arguments are equal, you can use the short starred version:

\cfoot*{<settings for plain and scrheadings>}

If the plain style should also use the lines, add plainheadsepline and/or plainfootsepline to the package options of scrlayer-scrpage.

\documentclass[12,a4paper,twoside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[
  automark,
  headsepline,
  plainheadsepline,
  footsepline,
  plainfootsepline,
  markcase=nouppercase
]{scrlayer-scrpage}

\renewcommand*{\sectionmarkformat}{}
\renewcommand*{\subsectionmarkformat}{}
\setkomafont{pagehead}{\normalfont}

\clearpairofpagestyles
\chead*{\leftmark}
\cfoot*{\pagemark}

\usepackage{blindtext}% dummy text
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\blinddocument

\clearpage
\pagestyle{plain}
\blinddocument
\end{document}

Additional remarks:

  • Option automark does the same as \automark[subsection]{section} if the class does not know chapters.
  • If there should be the section in header on even pages and the subsection you can use \chead{\headmark}.
  • To set the font of the page header use \setkomafont{pagehead}{<font settings>}.
  • With package scrlayer-scrpage pagestyle plain is redefined as an alias for pagestyle plain.scrheadings.
