FAQ

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is dummy placeholder text derived from Cicero's de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (45 BC). Scrambled sections of the original Latin have been used as typesetting placeholder text since the 1500s, and became standard dummy text with the advent of desktop publishing software in the 1980s.

Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?

Real text can distract reviewers from evaluating the design. Lorem Ipsum has a natural word-length distribution that resembles readable prose, allowing designers and stakeholders to focus on layout, typography, and spacing without the content influencing judgement.

What does "Start with Lorem ipsum…" do?

When checked, the very first paragraph/sentence always begins with the classic opening: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit…" This matches the traditional dummy text that designers expect. When unchecked, all text is randomly generated from the word pool.

What does the HTML option do?

When "Wrap in <p> tags" is enabled, each paragraph is wrapped in <p>…</p> tags, making it ready to paste directly into an HTML document or CMS editor.
