 \n The MESH module contains a set of meshing algorithms, which are
-used for meshing entities (1D, 2D, 3D) composing geometrical objects.
+used for meshing entities (1D, 2D, 3D sub-shapes) composing
+geometrical objects.

+An algorithm represents either an implementation of a certain meshing
+technique or an interface to the whole meshing program generating elements
