 ====== Potential models ======
 ----
-//potfit// supports two very different ways of defining a potential. Both ways use some parameters $\alpha_i$ to define a potential, but they have very different meanings.
+//potfit// supports different ways of defining atomic interactions. All of them use a set of parameters $\alpha_i$ to define a potential function. Depending on the particular implementation these parameters have very different meanings.
-There are tabulated potentials and [[models:analytic|analytic potentials]]. The main differences are given in the table below.
+Currently //potfit// supports the following models:
+  * [[analytic|Analytic potential functions]]
