# SOURCES
#   
#   This file was generated mechanically by a Markov chain of order 3,
#   with transition probabilities equal to the frequencies observed in
#   the Cadman Vietnamese Pentateuch.  See the script "char-monkey".
# 
# LANGUAGE, SPELLING AND ENCODING
#   
#   The input text was biblical prose in modern Vietnamese, probably
#   translated from the English. It uses a standard encoding of
#   Vietnamese in ASCII, VIQR -- except that some accents were
#   remapped to avoid confusion with puctuation ("?"->"@{ß}",
#   "("->"@{µ}", "."->"@{°}"). The source contained many Biblical
#   nouns phonetically transcribed into Vietnamese syllables, e.g.
#   "@{Gie^-ho^-va}". Only these foreign names are capitalized.
#   
#   Punctuation and paragraph breaks were generated by the Markov
#   chain itself. The paragraphs were numbered and grouped into
#   "chapters" of random length by the script "insert-controls".
#   
# DOCUMENT STRUCTURE  
#
#   @section 1 {bN} = book N (1 to 5).
#     @section 2 {cN} = chapter N (1,2...).
#       @section 3 {vN} = paragraph N (1,2,..).
