Frequently Asked Questions
What is lorem ipsum?
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin used as placeholder text since the 1500s. It comes from a text by Cicero written in 45 BC. Designers use it so readers look at the layout, not the words.
Can I get HTML paragraphs?
Yes. Tick "Wrap in <p> tags" and each paragraph is wrapped, ready to paste into HTML.
Does it always start with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"?
By default, yes, because people recognise it as placeholder text. Untick the option to start with random words.
Should I publish a page with lorem ipsum on it?
No. Replace it with real text before launch. Search engines see placeholder text as low-quality content.
