.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.
