About lorem ipsum
Latin-ish, on purpose.
02 / Where from
Scrambled Cicero
The words come from a jumbled passage of De finibus bonorum et malorum, written in 45 BC.
03 / When not
Real copy wins
Once you know what the page will say, write it: real words change how a layout works.
Questions
Good to know.
Can I use lorem ipsum in my designs?
Yes. The source text is more than two thousand years old and free to use. Just replace it before the page goes live.
How do I get HTML?
Choose HTML paragraphs to get each paragraph in <p> tags, or HTML list for <li> items in a list.
How many words is a paragraph?
Here, four to seven sentences of 7 to 16 words, so about 30 to 110 words, like a normal web paragraph.
