25.2.1 Lorem Ipsum
When you are trying to create a webpage layout, you often need filler text
(fake content) to show how things will generally look.
You could cut and paste something from another website, but that can result
in copyright infringement problems. Not the best plan.
You could type in blah blah blah blah blah blah until you have filled the
space you want.
You could type in yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda until you
have filled the space you want.
These things work but look unnatural. Typographers typically use some
fake Latin-looking text that is calledlorem ipsum.
How about this next paragraph? Looks pretty real. It is almost totally fake.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed et urna ut
sem malesuada varius. Nullam sit amet risus elit. Aenean dapibus, nisl
ut vestibulum euismod, sem metus rutrum est, at auctor turpis sem ac do-
lor. Integer interdum, turpis eget volutpat venenatis, lectus diam commodo
neque, cursus suscipit orci neque placerat turpis. Curabitur nisi velit, male-
suada vitae porta sit amet, consectetur ut magna. Nulla facilisi.
