# Lists of axes

In various commands such as `//copy+`, `//move+`, and others lists of axes are used. These are all underpinned by a single grammar and a single parser (located in `worldeditadditions/utils/parse/axes.lua`). While the parser itself requires pre-split tokens (see `split_shell` for that), the grammar which it parses is documented here.

Examples:

```
front 3 left 10 y 77 x 30 back 99
```
