[DFTB-Plus-User] no detailed.xml file as input file for the waveplot_process

Dear Hafid,

Yes, indeed. From parser version 5 and above, the eigenvector writing
option was moved into the new Analysis block.

DFTB+ is always backwards compatible with old inputs, provided the
ParserVersion is set correctly. The parser version of your current
binary is always printed on stdout and the ParserVersion option is
always set in dftb_pin.hsd, which contains the full input with all
default options set.

Anyway, I've fixed the issue and created a PR

https://github.com/dftbplus/recipes/pull/22

so it will be soon corrected also on readthedocs.io. Maybe, next time
you can make a PR yourself, if you find similar trivial issues with
DFTB+ or its documentation. ;-)

Best regards,

Bálint
