- * @note Since deal.II only supports line, quadrilateral and hexahedral
- * meshes, the functions in this class can only read meshes that consist
- * exclusively of such cells. If you absolutely need to work with a mesh that
- * uses triangles or tetrahedra, then your only option is to convert the mesh
- * to quadrilaterals and hexahedra. A tool that can do this is tethex,
- * available <a href="https://github.com/martemyev/tethex">here</a>.
+ * In practice, the list of formats this class supports is of course limited.
+ * However, other people have written tools to convert mesh files from one
+ * format to another, and if you have a mesh you cannot read with the functions
+ * of this class, you may want to convert it into a format that is in fact
+ * supported. One of these tools you may want to look up is
+ * [meshio](https://github.com/nschloe/meshio).
+ * A separate tool that can convert tetrahedral to hexahedral mesges is tethex,
+ * available [here](https://github.com/martemyev/tethex).
*
* The mesh you read will form the coarsest level of a @p Triangulation
* object. As such, it must not contain hanging nodes or other forms of
