Why Do We Use It?: Rem Ipsum Is Simply Dummy Text of The Printing and Typesetting Industry. Lorem Ipsum Has Been

Lorem Ipsum is sample text that has been used in typesetting since the 1500s. It originated as scrambled Latin text used in a type specimen book and has become commonly used placeholder text by designers and publishers. Lorem Ipsum appears more natural to readers than placeholder text in other languages like English because it maintains a similar distribution of letters and word lengths.

rem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Lorem Ipsum has been


the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley
of type and scrambled 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 with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem
Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
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).
