""" Duree: an experiment in linguistics.
This module procedurally generates a body of text following basic English
phrase structure rules. It writes the text to an HTML file which can be
uploaded to Amazon KDP and printed.
TODO:
* Increase randomness in optional phrase structures
* Allow for recursive phrase structures
* Wider dictionary
* Better selection of articles given nouns
NOTES:
* A limit of 335000 seems to be around the maximum limit that KDP will take
