+====== File Formats ======
+All numbers must have a dot "." as a decimal seperator.
+===== .db files =====
+The .db files define the optical constants <m>n=1-delta+i beta</m> for an optical isotropic material.
+Each line must have 3 columns with the order
+  - energy in eV
+  - delta
+  - beta
+The entries must be separated by a blank or by a tabulated space.
+A line beginning with an "#" marks a comment.
+Example:
+<code>
+#material Arbitraryum
+#energy delta beta
+  1e-3  1e-3
+  1.1e-3 0.9998e-3
+  1.103e-3 0.9997e-3
+.
+.
+.
+</code>
+The table can be unsorted. Make sure that you don't include two entries with the same energy. The optical constants between two neighboring energies are calculated via linear interpolation (first order).The program does not take care of any dependence between delta and beta (e. g. Kramers-Kronig-relation).
+Off-resonance values for this tables can be calculated by the Chantler or Henke tables.
+===== .m files =====
+The .m files define the magneto-optical constants <m>Q=delta m + i beta m</m> for a magnetic material (e. g. xmcd-effect).
+Each line must have 3 columns with the order
+  - energy in eV
+  - deltam
+  - betam
+The entries must be separated by a blank or by a tabulated space.
+A line beginning with an "#" marks a comment.
+Example:
+<code>
+#material Arbitraryum
+#energy delta beta
+  1e-5  1e-5
+  1.1e-5 0.9998e-5

+===== .e files =====
+The .e files define the dielectric tensor <m>epsilon</m> of a optical anisotropic material.
+Each line must have 19 columns with the order
+  - energy in eV
+  - real part of exx
+  - imaginary part of exx
+  - real part of exy
+  - imaginary part of exy
+  - real part of exz
+  - imaginary part of exz

+===== .ff files =====
+The .ff files define the thomson (charge) scattering amplitude f0 = r0 (-Z + f’ + i f’’) in the form f1 = Z-f’ and  f2 = f’’
+for an optical isotropic material.
+Each line must have 3 columns with the order
+  - energy in eV
+  - f1
+  - f2
+The entries must be separated by a blank or by a tabulated space.
+A line beginning with an "#" marks a comment.
+Example:
+<code>
+#element Arbitraryum
+#energy f1 f2
+  1e-3  1e-3
+  1.1e-3 0.9998e-3
+  1.103e-3 0.9997e-3

Kramers-Kronig-relation).
+Off-resonance values for this tables can be taken from NIST (Chantler tables, Henke tables)
+===== .ffm files (since V2.2) =====
+The .ffm files define the thomson magnetic part of the (charge) scattering amplitude.
+for an optical isotropic material.
+Each line must have 3 columns with the order
+  - energy in eV
+  - f1m
+  - f2m
+The entries must be separated by a blank or by a tabulated space.
+A line beginning with an "#" marks a comment.
