\n This functionality allows transforming standard meshes (or
sub-meshes) to quadratic and vice versa.
\n This functionality allows transforming linear meshes (or
sub-meshes) to quadratic (or bi-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.
