I use KOMA-Script's scrartcl document class. I'd like the sections of the article to be numbered starting from zero. How can this be achieved? (This post claims that KOMA-Script has a built-in feature for this.)

    Just like you would with article: add \setcounter{section}{-1} to your preamble. – Werner Jan 16 '18 at 07:22

    @EvanAad I think the comment about built-in features refers to the second solution proposed. (The author of that post writes 'This solution', not 'These solutions'.) The KOMA classes indeed provide the macros \addchap and \addsec, which automatically take care of the table of contents. But as far as starting the chapter/section from 0, I agree with the duplicate. – campa Jan 16 '18 at 07:53

    Before all of this, one should think of the sense to start at zero. I don't know any rational reason to start at Zero. – Harald Lichtenstein Jan 16 '18 at 08:56
  • Mhhh, I also think that the inbuilt solution comment does not refer to starting counting at 0 but rather to unnumbered sections/chapters. Basically \setcounter{section}{-1} is so short already, that another solution built specifically into the document class could hardly be shorter or more elegant. – moewe Jan 16 '18 at 10:04
  • @moewe: OK. If Werner, campa and you have the same interpretation, and say there is no built-in KOMA-Script way to do it, I accept it. Therefore, I agree that my question is a duplicate. – Evan Aad Jan 16 '18 at 10:16
