Message:

Disinfected menu_bar.rst, fitting_help.rst and plugin.rst of 'custom
model' in favour of 'plugin model' and re-wrote sections of the
documentation to match it to the functionality of the program with
particular emphasis on creating/testing plugin models.

    127129---------------------- 
    128130 
    129 There are currently two ways to add your own models to SasView: 
    130  
    131 * Using the :ref:`Custom_Model_Editor` 
    132 * By :ref:`Writing_a_Plugin`

    139 ------------------- 
    140  
    141 From the *Fitting* option in the menu bar, select *Edit Custom Model*. 
     131There are essentially three ways to generate new fitting models for SasView: 
     132 
     133* Using the SasView :ref:`New_Plugin_Model` helper dialog (best for beginners and/or relatively simple models) 
     134* By copying/editing an existing model (this can include models generated by the *New Plugin Model* dialog) in the :ref:`Python_shell` or :ref:`Advanced_Plugin_Editor` (suitable for all use cases) 
     135* By writing a model from scratch outside of SasView (only recommended for code monkeys!) 
     136 
     137Please read the guidance on :ref:`Writing_a_Plugin` before proceeding. 
     138 
     139**To be found by SasView your model must reside in the *~\\.sasview\\plugin_models* folder.**

    11 There are currently two ways to add your own models to SasView: 
    12  
    13 * Using the :ref:`Custom_Model_Editor` 
    14 * By Writing a Plugin Model 
    15  
    16 The Custom Model Editor lets you combine *existing* SasView library models. For anything more  
    17 complex, or if you want to apply polydispersity to parameters, you will need to write a Plugin Model.   
     11There are essentially three ways to generate new fitting models for SasView: 
     12 
     13* Using the SasView :ref:`New_Plugin_Model` helper dialog (best for beginners and/or relatively simple models) 
     14* By copying/editing an existing model (this can include models generated by the *New Plugin Model* dialog) in the :ref:`Python_shell` or :ref:`Advanced_Plugin_Editor` as described below (suitable for all use cases) 
     15* By writing a model from scratch outside of SasView (only recommended for code monkeys!) 
    1816 
    1917Overview 
     
    2220If you write your own model and save it to the the SasView *plugin_models* folder 
    2321 
    24   *C:\\Users\\[username]\\.sasview\\plugin_models* (on Windows) 
     22  *C:\\Users\\{username}\\.sasview\\plugin_models* (on Windows) 
    2523 
    2624the next time SasView is started it will compile the plugin and add 
    27 it to the list of *Customized Models* in a FitPage. 
    28  
    29 SasView has three ways of writing models: 
    30  
    31 - As a pure python model : Example - 
     25it to the list of *Plugin Models* in a FitPage. 
     26 
     27SasView models can be of three types: 
     28 
     29- A pure python model : Example - 
    3230  `broadpeak.py <https://github.com/SasView/sasmodels/blob/master/sasmodels/models/broad_peak.py>`_ 
    33 - As a python model with embedded C : Example - 
     31- A python model with embedded C : Example - 
    3432  `sphere.py <https://github.com/SasView/sasmodels/blob/master/sasmodels/models/sphere.py>`_ 
    35 - As a python wrapper with separate C code : Example - 
     33- A python wrapper with separate C code : Example -

    674 ................. 
    675  
    676 If you are editing your model from the SasView GUI, you can test it 
    677 by selecting *Run > Check Model* from the *Model Editor* menu bar. An 
    678 *Info* box will appear with the results of the compilation and a 
    679 check that the model runs.

    683 ............. 
     671Minimal Testing 
     672............... 
     673 
     674Either open the :ref:`Python_shell` (*Tools* > *Python Shell/Editor*) or the :ref:`Advanced_Plugin_Editor` (*Fitting* > *Plugin Model Operations* > *Advanced  
     675Plugin Editor*), load your model, and then select *Run > Check Model* from the  
     676menu bar. 
     677 
     678An *Info* box will appear with the results of the compilation and a check that  
     679the model runs. 
     680 
     681Recommended Testing 
     682................... 
    684683 
    685684If the model compiles and runs, you can next run the unit tests that 
     
    802801consider adding your model to the 
    803802`Model Marketplace <http://marketplace.sasview.org/>`_ so that others may use it!
