+== create new output mode
+
+=== Base class which can be use to create a new exporter from scratch:
+
+At the beginning of madgraph/various/iolibs/export_v4.py.
+A virtual class "VirtualExporter" is defined all exporter class should derive from that class.
+That virtual class list all the functions called by the interface that you can define (that class in itself does nothing)
+and list all the common attribute that need to be defined with the explanation of their impact.
+
+In Most of the case, it is more convenient to subclass one of the class creating a real output like ProcessExporterFortran.
+
+
+=== List of function that need to be defined in the exporter For Fortran/CPP output:
+   
+   This list correspond to the call to the exporter performed outside the class itself. Please check the VirtualExporter class (begin of madgraph/various/iolibs/export_v4.py) to check that the following list is up-to-date with your version of MG5aMC.
+
+   1. __init__(self, dir_path = "", opt=None)
+   2. copy_template(self, modelname)
+   3. generate_subprocess_directory(self, subproc_group, helicity_model, me=None) [for grouped]
+   4. generate_subprocess_directory(self, matrix_element, helicity_model, me_number) [for ungrouped]
+   4. convert_model(model, wanted_lorentz=[], wanted_coupling=[])
+   5. finalize(self,matrix_element, cmdhistory, MG5options, outputflag)     
+   6. modify_grouping(self, matrix_element)
+   7. export_model_files(self, model_v4_path) [only if you want to support old model format]
+   8. export_helas(self, HELAS_PATH) [only if you want to support old model format]
+
+
+=== List of class variable that need to be defined in the exporter:
+
+    This list correspond to the attribute of the exporter called outside the  exporter class. Please check the VirtualExporter class (begin of madgraph/various/iolibs/export_v4.py) to check that the following list is up-to-date with your version of MG5aMC.
+
+    1. '''grouped_mode'''  This variable changes the type of object called within 'generate_subprocess_directory' functions. 
+       a. '''False''' to avoid grouping (only identical matrix element are merged)
+       b. ''' 'madevent' ''' group the massless quark and massless lepton
+       c. ''' 'madweight' ''' group the gluon with the massless quark
+    2. '''sa_symmetry''' If no grouped_mode=False, uu~ and u~u will be called independently. Putting sa_symmetry generates only one of the two matrix-element. (might not work for cpp output.
+    3. '''check''' Ask madgraph to check if the directory already exists and propose to the user to remove it first if this is the case
+    4. '''output'''  [Template, None, dir]
+       a. ''''Template'''', madgraph will call copy_template
+       b. ''''dir'''', madgraph will just create an empty directory for initialisation
+       c. '''None''', madgraph do nothing for initialisation
+    5. '''exporter'''  ['v4'/'cpp'] language of the output 'v4' for Fortran output, 'cpp' for C++ output

+# Three types of functionality are allowed in a plugin
+#   1. new output mode

+#   3. new interface
+
+# 1. Define new output mode
+#    example: new_output = {'myformat': MYCLASS}
+#    madgraph will then allow the command "output myformat PATH"
+#    MYCLASS should inherated of the class madgraph.iolibs.export_v4.VirtualExporter 
+new_output = {}
+
+# 2. Define new way to handle the cluster.
+#    example new_cluster = {'mycluster': MYCLUSTERCLASS}
+#    allow "set cluster_type mycluster" in madgraph
+#    MYCLUSTERCLASS should inherated from madgraph.various.cluster.Cluster
+new_cluster = {'new_condor': MYcluster}
+
+
+# 3. Define a new interface (allow to add/modify MG5 command)
+#    This can be activated via ./bin/mg5_aMC --mode=PLUGINNAME
+## Put None if no dedicated command are required
