Examples: -p 10 (0 to 10 paragraphs per note), -p 20,10 (10 to 20 paragraphs per note).
- Paragraph sizes range randomly from MIN_WORDS (0..MAX_WORDS, default 25) to MAX_WORDS (1..999, default 150).
Examples: -w 10 (0 to 10 words per paragraph), -w 20,10 (10 to 20 words per paragraph).
- Paragraph text is Lorem Ipsum text.
- FILE_NAME is the note file name prefix (default note).
- DIR_NAME is the notes file directory (default current directory).
- SEED is an integer to initialize the random number generator for reproducible output.
- Note files are named like FILE_NAME-N.md where N is 1,2,..
- If NOTE_COUNT is 1 then the file name is FILE_NAME.md
