+# generates so-called 'Greek Text' for use in filling documents.
+###############################################################################
+"""
+This module exposes a function randomText() which generates paragraphs.
+These can be used when testing out document templates and stylesheets.
+A number of 'themes' are provided - please contribute more!
+We need some real Greek text too.
+
+There are currently six themes provided:
+ STARTUP (words suitable for a business plan - or not as the case may be),
+ COMPUTERS (names of programming languages and operating systems etc),
+ BLAH (variations on the word 'blah'),
+ BUZZWORD (buzzword bingo),
+ STARTREK (Star Trek),
+ PRINTING (print-related terms)
+ PYTHON (snippets and quotes from Monty Python)
+ CHOMSKY (random lingusitic nonsense)
+
+EXAMPLE USAGE:
+ from reportlab.lib import randomtext
+ print randomtext.randomText(randomtext.PYTHON, 10)
+
+ This prints a random number of random sentences (up to a limit
+ of ten) using the theme 'PYTHON'.
