+\section PMPAll Requirements summary
+
+The table below recapitulates the basic requirements of each function of this package.
+For each requirement, the table answers a question :
+- should the input mesh be a pure triangle mesh?
+- should the input mesh have the topology of a 2-manifold?
+- should the input mesh be self-intersection free?
+- should the input mesh be closed (with no boundary)?
+
