-//potfit// supports two very different ways of defining a potentialBoth ways use some parameters $\alpha_i$ to define a potential, but they have very different meanings.+//potfit// supports different ways of defining atomic interactionsAll 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 [[Analytic_potentials|analytic potentials]]. The main differences are given in the table below. +Currently //potfit// supports the following models:
