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. .SH OPTIONS .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR cliapp (5).
