Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin text based on Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" from 45 BC. It has been the industry-standard placeholder text in printing and typesetting since the 1500s, and became ubiquitous in desktop publishing software in the 1980s.
Why do designers use Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum has a natural distribution of letters and word lengths that makes layouts look realistic. Reviewers can focus on design — typography, spacing, hierarchy — without being distracted by reading the actual content.
Can I use Lorem Ipsum in production?
No — Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text only and should never appear on a live website. Search engines may penalize pages with it, and it creates a poor user experience. Always replace it with real content before publishing.
What does "Include HTML tags" do?
When enabled, the generator wraps each paragraph in <p> tags and list items in <li> tags inside a <ul>. This lets you paste the result directly into an HTML file or a CMS without any extra formatting.
