[TYPO3] tt_news - how to show the full news item?

[Redvald Hjulstad]

tt_news could be configured to do almost everything. But I believe that 
the way you do it is one of the most common.

That way you have a list of news (teasers) that link into the entire story.

But if you are after something else tt_news should be capable of doing that to!
