+\n This functionality allows transforming standard meshes (or
+sub-meshes) to quadratic and vice versa. 
+See \ref adding_quadratic_elements_page "Adding quadratic elements" 
 for more information about quadratic meshes.
+Note that conversion of a sub-mesh most probably will
+produce a non-conformal mesh. Elements on the boundary between
+quadratic and linear sub-meshes become (or remain) quadratic.
