  * '''''{{{LOF_ALPHA}}}'''''  Sets the strength of the local oscillation filter.  Higher values mean a stronger filter, while a value of 0 is equivalent to having no oscillation filter.  The default value for {{{LOF_ALPHA}}} is 0.75.
 
- * '''''{{{iTracer:}}}'''''   Controls the behavior of tracer fields.  The {{{iTracer}}} value in {{{solver.data}}} should match the {{{iLTracer}}} value in [PhysicsDataExplained#TracerSettings physics.data].
+ * '''''{{{iTracer:}}}'''''   Controls the type of tracer fields used by the solver.  Note that this does not actually ''activate'' the tracer fields, it merely controls their behavior.  To turn on tracers, set the {{{NrTracerVars}}} parameter in [PhysicsDataExplained#TracerSettings physics.data] to something greater than 0.
   * {{{0 -- Conservative:}}} Tracer values in a given cell are constrained from 0 to {{{density}}}.  If you do not intend to use tracers, then select this option.
   * {{{1 -- Limited Lagrangian:}}}  Tracer values are constrained between 0 and 1
