+<h2>Pseudopotentials for SIESTA</h2>
 
 <p>SIESTA uses pseudopotentials to represent the electron-ion
 interaction (as do most plane-wave codes and in contrast to so-called
 "all-electron" programs). In particular, the pseudopotentials are of
 the "norm-conserving" kind.</p>

   'Froyen' (psf) format. These pseudopotentials can be generated and
