            "content": "Axohelp  is  a  program  used with the axodraw2, which is a LaTeX package for drawing Feynman\ngraphs (and some other simple graphics) in LaTeX documents.\n\nWhen the axodraw2 package is used with pdflatex (or lualatex or xelatex) it  creates  a  file\nwith  extension  .ax1.   This contains specifications of the graphics elements.  Axohelp con‐\nverts this to a file with extension ax2 that contains the necessary pdf code.  The .ax2  file\nis  read by pdflatex (etc) on its next run, and the contents of the .ax2 file are used in the\nfinal .pdf output file to draw the desired graphics.\n\nThe files processed are specified as follows: When the filename on the command line is of the\nform  file.ax1, then the input file is file.ax1 and the output file is file.ax2. If the file‐\nname on the command line does not have extension .ax1, then this extension is appended.\n\n\n",
