That certainly looks interesting. Presumably if I train it right, it'll 
figure out that sentences need to start uppercase and end with a 
full-stop, and maybe have a few other punctuation marks thrown in. I'm 
not sure I trust it to generate valid LaTeX markup, but I can give it a 
try! ;-)

At any rate, thanks for the link - the possibilities for this look very 
interesting. (All sorts of data to be generated. And hey, maybe if I 
read the source I can even learn some of the theory behind it too...)
