-<para>Yes, most certainly. Find the file <filename>tellico-printing.xsl</filename> which
- should be in the $<envar>KDEDIR</envar>/share/apps/tellico/ directory. You can copy
- that to $<envar>KDEHOME</envar>/share/apps/tellico/ for personal modifications.
- You'll have to know <ulink
- url="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt">&xslt;</ulink>, but modifying that file
- is how you change the printing layout. &HTML; is generated from the
- file, and the easiest way to change the appearance of the printout is
- to modify the &CSS; in the top portion.</para>

-<answer>
-<para>Internally, the checkbox

-to show only the science fiction books which you've not read, for
-example, then you have two rules. Make sure the "Match all of the

-"Read" "does not contain" "true" (no quotes).</para>

-<para>Also, the quick filter in the toolbar will match any field,

-<para>&kde; programs look for data in the locations defined in the

- $<envar>KDEDIRS</envar> is empty or just <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>,
- then &appname; won't be able to find the files it needs. This is
- particularly true for &SuSE;, for which you should compile with
