Making the text
Choose what to make: paragraphs of four to seven sentences, single sentences, an exact number of words, or short list items. Set how many with the box or the minus and plus buttons, and the text below changes straight away. New text draws a fresh mix with the same settings. The words come from the classic lorem ipsum list, which goes back to a passage of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum (45 BC) as mangled by a typesetter in the 1500s, so it reads like Latin without saying anything that would pull the eye.
Formats
Plain text puts a blank line between paragraphs and one list item per line. HTML wraps each paragraph in <p> and a list in <ul> with an <li> for each item, ready to paste into a page or a template. Markdown leaves paragraphs as they are and starts each list item with a dash. Copy puts it on your clipboard; Download saves it as a .txt file whatever the format.
The opening words
With Start with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” on, the text opens with the familiar sentence, so anyone who sees it knows at once that it is filler. Turn it off for text that starts at random. In word mode the count is still exact: ask for three words and you get “Lorem ipsum dolor.”
Questions
Is it real Latin?
Not quite. The words are mostly Latin, but they were cut and reshuffled long ago, and this page picks them at random, so the sentences mean nothing. That is the point: the text has the rhythm and word lengths of real writing without anyone stopping to read it.
How much can I make at once?
Up to 100 paragraphs, 500 sentences, 10,000 words or 500 list items. For more, download a batch and run it again.
Can I get the same text twice?
No. Each change draws new words at random, and there is no seed to repeat a run. If you need the same text again, copy it or save the file.
