What Is Lorem Ipsum?
“Lorem Ipsum” is a type of placeholder text known as “dummy text.” It’s commonly used in the design and typesetting industries to demonstrate the visual form of a document without relying on meaningful content. The text typically starts with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,” and continues in a similar fashion.
The Origin of Lorem Ipsum
The origins of “Lorem Ipsum” can be traced back to a work by Cicero, a Roman statesman and philosopher. The text used in “Lorem Ipsum” is derived from a Latin work titled “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil), written by Cicero in 45 BC. This work is a treatise on the theory of ethics and is divided into two books.
