0018 <para>
0019    The settings described below modify the behavior of &kmymoney;, allowing you
0020    to customize it to meet the needs of your unique financial affairs, and to
0021    modify its look and feel to match your personality.  These settings can be
0022    changed through <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
0023    &kmymoney;...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu item or by using the keyboard
0024    shortcut <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl; &Shift;<keycap>,</keycap></keycombo>.
0025    In order for any changes to take effect the <guibutton>Apply</guibutton>
0026    button must be clicked.
0027 </para>
0028 
0029 <para>
0030     On the left of the settings dialog is a list of icons and labels, each
0031     representing a particular area of the program.  When you click on one of
0032     those icons, the right part of the dialog will display controls for
0033     configuring that area of the program, often divided into several tabs.

0055       option upon closing the program to backup your &kmymoney; file.  The Number of backup to
0056       keep can be set at 0 (Off) upto to 20 backups.  Any backup files will be stored in the same

0072       <para>This setting does not directly affect the operation of &kmymoney;,
0073       but provides a convenient way to launch any external utility, such as an
0074       advanced calculator.  The first step is to enter the full path to your
0075       chosen program in the <guilabel>Calculator</guilabel> text box.  There are
0076       then two ways to launch the program.</para>
0077       <para>First, you can use
0078       <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
0079       Toolbars...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu item to place the
0080       <guilabel>Calculator</guilabel> icon on the Toolbar.  Then, when you click
0081       that icon on the Toolbar, &kmymoney; will launch the selected
0082       application.</para>
0083       <!-- FIXME since the Settings menu is deferred to the Frameworks docs and
0084            not explicitly described in this manual, it would at least be nice to
0085            refer to the actual Calculator icon here, but I cannot find the
0086            source png.  It might also be nice to have a link to Settings Menu
0087            doc page. -->
0088       <para>Second, you can use
0089       <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
0090       Shortcuts...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu item to set a custom keyboard
0091       shortcut. (The entry is under &kmymoney;/Calculator in that list.)  You can
0092       then use that shortcut to launch the application.</para>
0093       <!-- FIXME is not currently possible to launch the calculator from some menu
0094            item.  I have filed a wishlist, and when implemented, it should be
0095            described here, probably as the first choice. -->

0883   Every plugin can be enabled or disabled, according to the state of the
0884   checkbox next to the name of the plugin.  In addition, at the right, there is
0885   also an <guibutton>information</guibutton> (&infoicon;) button for each, which
0886   will show the plugin version and author.  For some plugins, further
0887   information on configuring and using it may be found by clicking the
0888   configure, or tool icon just to the left of the information button.  There is
0889   only one plugin that requires configuration, and that is the Check printing
0890   plugin.

0896 <para>
0897   As one example, there is a plugin for printing checks, which
0898   is included with the source of &kmymoney;, and should always be
0899   enabled.  It allows printing of a check based on the data from a selected
0900   transaction, with the layout controlled by an &HTML; template. You need to use a
0901   template which is matched to your pre-printed checks.  A default, built-in
0902   template is provided. You may also choose a custom template. To do so, click on
0903   the <guibutton>configure</guibutton> (&configicon;) button to get the
0904   <guilabel>Check printing</guilabel> configuration dialog displayed.  At the top
0905   you can check the box to use a custom template.  To the right of that is a
0906   button which brings up a file chooser, to select an alternate template file.

0908 
0909 <para>
0910   A template file is an &HTML; file, in which specific strings are used to
0911   reference the fields from the transaction and from the current account and
0912   institution to show where they will be printed on the check.  &kmymoney;
0913   ships with a default, built-in template.  At <ulink url="https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/blob/master/kmymoney/plugins/checkprinting/templates/">this</ulink>
0914   address you can find the HTML source file of default template, as well as some
0915   additional templates.  You should either be able to use one of them, or modify
0916   one to suit your needs.  Note that only a <emphasis>subset</emphasis> of the
0917   HTML standard is supported — the detailed documentation on that can be found
0918   <ulink url="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html">here</ulink>.
