What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text used in the printing and typesetting industry. It has been the industry's standard dummy text since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
The text is derived from sections of "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. The standard Lorem Ipsum passage has been used since the 1960s and popularized with desktop publishing software.
