Hi,

I created wiki pages. See : 
http://www.geuz.org/getdp/wiki/TorusCurrent3D

- XS[] and $XS are probably the same but XS[] should be used in future 
versions. However, only $XS works with the current official version.

- an integral quantity is calculated the following way :
Q(X,...) = \int_{XS,...} q(X,XS,...)
