What is Lorem Ipsum?

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,
whenanunknown 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
intoelectronic 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.
Why do we use it?

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
isthat 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
desktoppublishing 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 intheir infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes
by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has
roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000
yearsold. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in
Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a
LoremIpsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical
literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections
1.10.32and1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and
Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of
ethics, verypopular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum,
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

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
etMalorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form,
accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
Where can I get some?

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the
majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or
randomised wordswhich 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 inthe 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 theInternet. 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.
