+<h3>Drawing Feynman diagrams in LaTeX</h3>
+<p>Michael Levine's <i>feynman</i> bundle for drawing the diagrams in
+LaTeX 2.09 is still available.
+<p>Thorsten Ohl's <i>feynmf</i> is designed for use with current
+LaTeX, and works in
+combination with Metafont (or, in its <i>feynmp</i> incarnation, with
+MetaPost). The <i>feynmf</i> or
+<i>feynmp</i> package reads a description of the diagram written
+in TeX, and writes out code. Metafont (or MetaPost) can then produce a
+font (or PostScript file) for use in a subsequent LaTeX run. For
+new users, who have access to MetaPost, the PostScript version is
+probably the better route, for document portability and other reasons.
+
+<p>Jos Vermaseren's <i>axodraw</i> is mentioned as an alternative in
+the documentation of <i>feynmf</i>, but it is written entirely in
+terms of <i>dvips</i> <code>\</code><code>special</code> commands, and is thus rather
+imperfectly portable.
+<p>An alternative approach is implemented by Norman Gray's <i>feyn</i>
+package. Rather than creating complete diagrams as postscript images,
+<i>feyn</i> provides a font (in a variety of sizes) containing
+fragments, which you can compose to produce complete diagrams. It
+offers fairly simple diagrams which look good in equations, rather
+than complicated ones more suitable for display in figures.
