Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lorem Ipsum and why is it used?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text derived from a work by the Roman philosopher Cicero, scrambled to be unreadable. Designers and developers use it to fill layouts with realistic-looking text without the content distracting from the visual design. It has been the industry standard dummy text since the 1500s.
What is the difference between paragraphs, sentences and words?
Paragraphs generate complete multi-sentence blocks suitable for body copy. Sentences generate individual sentences for shorter text areas like captions, tooltips or form help text. Words generate a list of individual words — useful for tag clouds, keywords lists or testing input fields.
What does the 'Start with Lorem ipsum' option do?
When enabled, the first piece of generated text will always begin with the classic opening 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…'. This is useful for creating recognisable placeholder text that designers and clients instantly identify as dummy content.
When should I use the HTML output format?
Choose HTML when you are working directly in a code editor or CMS. Each paragraph will be wrapped in <p> tags, ready to paste into HTML files or rich text editors. Use plain text when pasting into word processors, design tools or anywhere that does not render HTML.
Is Lorem Ipsum the same as real Latin?
Not exactly. The standard Lorem Ipsum passage is a scrambled excerpt from Cicero's 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' (45 BC). The words themselves are mostly Latin but the text has been altered and rearranged to be unreadable, preventing the text from conveying any actual meaning and keeping attention on the layout.
