About

Content is king, but sometimes you just need to fill the layout. This tool provides robust placeholder text generation not just in standard Latin (Cicero's classic), but also in modern thematic variations. It is essential for designers and developers who need to visualize text density, line height, and font weights without being distracted by readable content.

You can generate plain text or HTML-formatted content (including <p> tags and lists) to drop directly into your code editors. The 'Start with Lorem ipsum' feature allows you to maintain the industry standard opening or opt for completely randomized text strings.

Formulas

The generator uses a randomized dictionary assembly method:

  • Step 1: Dictionary Selection. Loads the specific word array based on the selected theme (e.g., Latin vs. Pirate vocabulary).
  • Step 2: Sentence Construction. Words are assembled into sentences with randomized lengths (4-15 words). The first letter is capitalized, and a period is appended.
  • Step 3: Paragraphing. Sentences are grouped into paragraphs. If the 'HTML' option is active, tags are wrapped around the output strings.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a scrambled section of 'De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum', a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero. It is used because the distribution of letters looks like readable English, but the meaning does not distract the viewer.
Standard Lorem Ipsum can be boring. Thematic versions add flavor to internal mockups and can help gauge how English words (which differ in length from Latin) will look in the final design.
