Lorem Ipsum is not simply dummy text!
Lorem Ipsum is not
simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum
has been the industry's standard text "filler" ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer used it to make a type specimen book. It has
survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic
typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the
1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum
passages, and more recently in the 1980s when desktop publishing software like Aldus
PageMaker included versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a
long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable
content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem
Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as
opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like
readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors
now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem
ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various
versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes
on purpose (injected humour and the like).
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 2,000 years
old. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus
Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Marcus Tullius
Cicero, written in the summer of 45 BC. This is book #1 in a collection
of 5 books written by the Roman orator, philosopher and politician
discussing the treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the
Renaissance.
