What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is just a proof text from the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the standard proof text in this industry since the 16th century, when an unknown printer took a typesetter's hook with letters and scrambled them to create a font catalog. It has not only survived five centuries but has also been adopted, virtually unchanged, in electronic typesetting. It became popular in the 1960s with the introduction of Letraset sheets with Lorem Ipsum passages and more recently by desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker that include versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It has long been a well-known fact that a reader, while viewing the layout of a page, is distracted by the textual content. The important point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it consists of a more or less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to "Here your text, here your text" which makes it more or less readable Dutch. Many desktop publishing packages and Web page editors today use Lorem Ipsum as their standard model text, and a search for "lorem ipsum" unlocks many Web sites still under construction. Several versions have evolved over the years, sometimes accidentally sometimes on purpose (inserted humor and the like).
