By reading the documentation, yes. There are docs for QF and there are
examples for the packages which should give you an idea of how they
work.

Probably not.

No. Of course you can use another renderer. DB_Table simply gives you
a QF object which you can do whatever you want with, including
adding/removing elements, rules, setting options, etc. etc. Do the
same thing you're already doing except with the form that DB_Table
gives you.
