Lorem Ipsum is sim­ply dum­my text of the prin­ting and type­set­ting indus­try. Lorem Ipsum has been the indus­tr­y’s stan­da­rd dum­my text ever sin­ce the 1500s, when an unk­no­wn prin­ter took a galley of type and scram­bled it to make a type spe­ci­men book.

It has survi­ved not only five cen­tu­ri­es, but also the leap into ele­ctro­nic type­set­ting, rema­i­ning essen­ti­a­lly uncha­nged. It was popu­la­ri­sed in the 1960s with the rele­a­se of Letra­set she­e­ts con­ta­i­ning Lorem Ipsum pas­sa­ges, and more recent­ly with desk­top publi­shing sof­twa­re like Aldus Page­Ma­ker inclu­ding ver­sions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long esta­bli­shed fact that a rea­der will be dis­tra­cted by the rea­da­ble con­tent of a page when loo­king at its layo­ut. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less nor­mal dis­tri­bu­tion of let­ters, as oppo­sed to using ‘Con­tent here, con­tent here’, making it look like rea­da­ble Engli­sh.

Many desk­top publi­shing pac­ka­ges and web page edi­tors now use Lorem Ipsum as the­ir defa­ult model text, and a sear­ch for ‘lorem ipsum’ will unco­ver many web sites sti­ll in the­ir infan­cy. Vari­o­us ver­sions have evo­lved over the years, some­ti­mes by acci­dent, some­ti­mes on pur­po­se (inje­cted humo­ur and the like).

The­re are many vari­a­tions of pas­sa­ges of Lorem Ipsum ava­i­la­ble, but the majo­ri­ty have suffe­red alte­ra­tion in some form, by inje­cted humo­ur, or ran­do­mi­sed words whi­ch don’t look even sli­ght­ly beli­e­va­ble.

If you are going to use a pas­sa­ge of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure the­re isn’t anything embar­ras­sing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum gene­ra­tors on the Inter­net tend to repe­at pre­de­fi­ned chunks as neces­sary, making this the first true gene­ra­tor on the Inter­net.

It uses a dictio­nary of over 200 Latin words, com­bi­ned with a han­dful of model sen­ten­ce stru­ctu­res, to gene­ra­te Lorem Ipsum whi­ch looks rea­so­na­ble. The gene­ra­ted Lorem Ipsum is the­re­fo­re alwa­ys free from repe­ti­tion, inje­cted humo­ur, or non-cha­ra­cte­ris­tic words etc.

The stan­da­rd chunk of Lorem Ipsum used sin­ce the 1500s is rep­ro­du­ced below for tho­se inte­res­ted. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Fini­bus Bono­rum et Malo­rum” by Cice­ro are also rep­ro­du­ced in the­ir exa­ct ori­gi­nal form, accom­pa­ni­ed by Engli­sh ver­sions from the 1914 trans­la­tion by H. Rac­kham.
