+.SH NAME
+lorem \- produce nonsense text
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B lorem
+produces a stream of nonsense text,
+for use as a filler,
+based on the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor" pseudo-latin snippet.
+The output can be useful for layout purposes, for example.
+.PP
+The output is generated by randomly picking a random number of
+sentences from the pseudo-latin text, and combining the sentences into
+a paragraph.
+This gives more variation to the generated text than just repeating the
+same snippet many times.
