    !%Type block
    !%Section States
    !%Description
    !% The occupation numbers of the orbitals can be fixed through the use of this
    !% variable. For example:
    !%
    !% <tt>%Occupations
    !% <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2
    !% <br>%</tt>
    !%
    !% would fix the occupations of the five states to 2. There can be
    !% at most as many columns as states in the calculation. If there are fewer columns
    !% than states, then the code will assume that the user is indicating the occupations
    !% of the uppermost states where all lower states have full occupation (i.e. 2 for spin-unpolarized
    !% calculations, 1 otherwise) and all higher states have zero occupation. The first column
    !% will be taken to refer to the lowest state such that the occupations would be consistent
    !% with the correct total charge. For example, if there are 8 electrons and 10 states (from
    !% <tt>ExtraStates = 6</tt>), then an abbreviated specification
    !%
    !% <tt>%Occupations
    !% <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;1 | 0 | 1
    !% <br>%</tt>
    !%
    !% would be equivalent to a full specification
    !%
    !% <tt>%Occupations
    !% <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
    !% <br>%</tt>
    !%
    !% This is an example of use for constrained density-functional theory,
    !% crudely emulating a HOMO->LUMO+1 optical excitation.
    !% The number of rows should be equal
    !% to the number of k-points times the number of spins. For example, for a finite system
    !% with <tt>SpinComponents == spin_polarized</tt>,
    !% this block should contain two lines, one for each spin channel.
    !% All rows must have the same number of columns.
    !%
    !% The <tt>Occupations</tt> block is useful for the ground state of highly symmetric
    !% small systems (like an open-shell atom), to fix the occupation numbers
    !% of degenerate states in order to help <tt>octopus</tt> to converge. This is to
    !% be used in conjuction with <tt>ExtraStates</tt>. For example, to calculate the
    !% carbon atom, one would do:
    !%
    !% <tt>ExtraStates = 2
    !% <br>%Occupations
    !% <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;2 | 2/3 | 2/3 | 2/3
    !% <br>%</tt>
    !%
    !% If you want the calculation to be spin-polarized (which makes more sense), you could do:
    !%
    !% <tt>ExtraStates = 2
    !% <br>%Occupations
    !% <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; 2/3 | 2/3 | 2/3
    !% <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; 0   |   0 |   0
    !% <br>%</tt>
    !%
    !% Note that in this case the first state is absent, the code will calculate four states
    !% (two because there are four electrons, plus two because <tt>ExtraStates</tt> = 2), and since
    !% it finds only three columns, it will occupy the first state with one electron for each
    !% of the spin options.
    !%
    !% If the sum of occupations is not equal to the total charge set by <tt>ExcessCharge</tt>,
    !% an error message is printed.
    !% If <tt>FromScratch = no</tt> and <tt>RestartFixedOccupations = yes</tt>,
    !% this block will be ignored.

    !%Description
    !% The calculation of the excitation spectrum of a system in the Casida frequency-domain
    !% formulation of linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT)
    !% implies the use of a basis set of occupied/unoccupied Kohn-Sham orbitals. This
    !% basis set should, in principle, include all pairs formed by all occupied states,
    !% and an infinite number of unoccupied states. In practice, one has to truncate this
    !% basis set, selecting a number of occupied and unoccupied states that will form the
    !% pairs. These states are specified with this variable. If there are, say, 15 occupied
    !% states, and one sets this variable to the value "10-18", this means that occupied
    !% states from 10 to 15, and unoccupied states from 16 to 18 will be considered.
    !%
    !% This variable is a string in list form, <i>i.e.</i> expressions such as "1,2-5,8-15" are
    !% valid. You should include a non-zero number of unoccupied states and a non-zero number
    !% of occupied states.
