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 years old.
Richard McClintock, a Latin
professor at Hampden-Sydney
College in Virginia,
Looked up one of the
more obscure Latin words,
consectetur, from a Lorem
Ipsum passage, and going
through the cites of the word
in classical literature,
discovered the undoubtable
source. Lorem Ipsum comes
from sections 1.10.32 and
1.10.33 of "de Finibus
Bonorum et Malorum" (The
Extremes of Good and Evil)
The standard chunk
It was
popularised
in the 1960s
with the
release of
Letraset
sheets
containing
Lorem Ipsum
passages, and
more recently
with desktop
There are many variations
of passages of Lorem Ipsum
available, but the majority
have suffered alteration in
some form, by injected
humour, or randomised words
which don't look even slightly
believable. If you are going to
use a passage of Lorem Ipsum,
All the Lorem
generators on
the Internet
tend to repeat
predefined
chunks as
necessary,
making this the first true generator on the Internet. 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.Lorem Ipsum as
their default model text, and a
search for 'lorem ipsum' will
uncover many web sites still
in their infancyVarious
versions have evolved over
the years, sometimes by
accident, sometimes on
purpose
