Another way to generate random text is by using context free grammars and recursive substitution. Here are some examples of programs which use this technique: http://nonsense.sourceforge.net/ http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo The programs generate from a user-defined "grammar" file, which looks something like this: ROOT $sentence SENTENCE I $feelabout my $animal! FEELABOUT love hate ANIMAL dog cat The above grammar will generate the following possible sentences: I love my cat! I hate my cat! I love my dog! I hate my dog! Unlike a Markov generator, the output of these programs is grammatically correct. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
