Frequently asked questions

What is lorem ipsum?

Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin-looking text used as a placeholder so designers can judge layouts without distracting copy.

Why use placeholder text?

It fills a layout with realistic-looking text so reviewers focus on the design instead of reading the content.

Is the text real Latin?

It is based on a passage by Cicero, but the words are shuffled and altered, so it doesn't make sense as Latin.

Can I get HTML output?

Yes. Switch the format to HTML paragraphs and each paragraph is wrapped in <p> tags.
