    Mesh to Curve node.
 
-The *Mesh to Curve* node generates a curve from a mesh.
+The *Mesh to Curve* node generates a curve from a mesh. The result is a poly spline, with a
+point for every selected vertex on the mesh. Any intersection of more than two selected edges will
+cause a break in the spline, meaning that if a the mesh has grid-like topology and a continuous
+spline is desired, the *Selection* input is very important.
 
+Attributes will be transferred to the resulting curve, including named attributes. If the mesh has
+attributes with the names of built-in curve attributes like ``radius`` and ``cyclic``, they will
+be copied as well.
