Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?

Because readable copy pulls attention onto the wording and away from the layout. Nonsense text with the letter distribution of real language lets a client review spacing and hierarchy instead of editing sentences.

Can I generate HTML paragraphs instead of plain text?

Yes — output wrapped in ` ` tags, ready to paste into a template, as well as plain text for a design tool.

How much placeholder text do I actually need?

Match the real thing. Filling a card with three paragraphs when production copy is two lines produces a design that breaks the day it gets real content — which is the main way placeholder text misleads.

Does Lorem Ipsum mean anything?

It is scrambled Latin from a first-century-BC text by Cicero, and has been used by typesetters since the 1500s. The scrambling is deliberate: it looks like language without being readable as one.
