What is it?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet... web developers have that phrase memorized. “Lorem Ipsum” is latin text used on web pages as filler text for pages that haven’t been completed yet. Lipsum is an add-in for Visual Studio .NET 2003 and 2005 that takes the chore out of making your Lorem Ipsum. Simply select the number of paragraphs, sentences, or characters of Lorem Ipsum you want and click Do It!. Easy enough, eh? I’ve made it even better for ya, though – all paragraphs have the option of being HTML formatted, so the <p> and </p> tags are automatically added – w00t!

Why Use Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is text practically nobody can understand. That’s a good thing, because you don’t want easily readable text on a placeholder page. It’s a designer thing, and that’s what my designer told me. It’s also what everybody uses, and clients usually know to ignore it. That’s a good thing. You don’t want a confused client.

Is this free software?

Yes, although if you like it, why don’t you buy one of my books. I’ve written Hacking the PSP and Geek My Ride. I plan to work on some development books, too. My books are available on Amazon.com and in most bookstores, such as Barnes & Noble and Borders.

What Is Lorem Ipsum? (yanked from lipsum.com’s description)

Lorem 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 popularized 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.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
