@subsection Version 2.0
The version 2.0 of the @file{.msh} file format is the Gmsh's new native mesh
file format. It will eventually become the new default mesh format generated
by Gmsh. This new format is very similar to the old one, but is more
general: it contains information about itself and allows to attach an
arbitrary number of tags to each element.

first tag is the number of the physical entity to which the element belongs;
the second tag is the number of the elementary geometrical entity to which
