-\section multipletopologies Generate multiple topologies
+In this short tutorial you will learn how to do two things:
+- Generate scaled topologies with `plumed partial_tempering`. This is actually not directly related to

+- Run GROMACS with replica exchange and multiple topologies.
 
-Plumed comes with a `partial_tempering` command line tool that can be used to generate
