-jst = juggling skill tree

-If you have ever played a computer role playing game, you may have
-noticed the protagonist sometimes has a skill "tree" (most of the time
-it is actually a directed acyclic graph), where certain skills leads to
-others. For example,

-Now suppose our hero embarks on a quest for learning all the possible
-juggling patterns. Everyone would agree she should start with cascade,
-the simplest nontrivial 3-ball pattern, but what afterwards? A few other
-accessible patterns for beginners are juggler's tennis, two in one and
-even reverse cascade, but what to learn after that? The encyclopeadic
-[Library of Juggling](http://libraryofjuggling.com/) serves as a good
-guide, as it records more than 160 patterns, some of which very
-aesthetically appealing. On this website almost all the patterns have a
-"prerequisite" section, indicating what one should learn beforehand. I
-have therefore written a script using [Python](http://python.org),
-[BeautifulSoup](http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/) and
-[pygraphviz](http://pygraphviz.github.io/) to generate a jst (graded by
-difficulties, which is the leftmost column) from the Library of Juggling
