[[Image:LoremIpsumDesign.png|thumb|300px|right|Using ''lorem ipsum'' to focus attention on graphic elements in a website design proposal.]]


In [[publishing]] and [[graphic design]], '''lorem ipsum''' <!--(or simply '''lipsum''')--> is standard [[placeholder text]] used to demonstrate the [[graphics|graphic]] elements of a document or visual presentation, such as [[typeface|font]], [[typography]], and [[layout]].
Lorem ipsum also serves as placeholder text in mock-ups of visual design projects before the actual words are inserted into the finished product. When used in this manner, it is often called '''greeking'''.


====Hello there mister====
Even though using "lorem ipsum" often arouses curiosity due to its resemblance to classical [[Latin]], it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is visible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use ''lorem ipsum'' when displaying a typeface or design in order to direct the focus to presentation. "Lorem ipsum" also approximates a typical [[Letter frequencies|distribution of letters]] in [[English language|English]], which helps to shift the focus to presentation.


The most common ''lorem ipsum'' text reads as follows:
Testing, lorem ipsum


===How to disable lol===
:''{{Lorem ipsum}}''


Yes, thank you
==History and discovery==
The text is derived from [[Cicero]]'s ''De finibus bonorum et malorum'' (''On the Ends of Goods and Evils'', or alternatively ''[About] The Purposes of Good and Evil'' ).<ref name="microsoft">{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/114222/en-us|title=Description of the "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" text that appears in Word Help|accessdate=2007-03-22|format=HTML|publisher=Microsoft}}</ref> The original passage began: ''Neque porro quisquam est qui do'''lorem ipsum''' quia '''dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci''' v'''elit''''' (Translation: "Neither is there anyone who loves grief itself since it is grief and thus wants to obtain it"). It is not known exactly when the text acquired its current standard form; it may have been as early as the [[1500s]]<ref name="tug">{{cite web|url=http://www.tug.org/TeXnik/titlepage/myTitlePage.pdf|title=PSTricks – Grafik für TEX und LATEX|accessdate=2007-03-22|format=HTML}}</ref> (albeit with subsequent minor changes) or as late as the [[1960s]]. The passage was discovered by [[Richard McClintock]], a [[Latin]] professor at [[Hampden-Sydney College]] in [[Virginia]], while trying to find citings of the word 'consectetur' in classical literature.


== why do you think so? ==
The original version (with the excerpted items highlighted):


I don't understand

Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat.''


==English translation==
==I love you==
Cicero's original text: ''"…neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?" ''


Me too.
H. Rackham's 1914 translation: "Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"


=How=
==Variations==
Many variations on the standard ''lorem ipsum'' text exist, some with little resemblance to the original. Other versions have additional letters &mdash; such as ''k'', ''w'', and ''z'' &mdash; that were uncommon or missing in the Latin, and nonsense words such as ''zzril'', ''takimata'', and ''gubergren'' added to the original passage to achieve a distribution of letters that more closely approximates English.


To explain?
Cicero's first [[Catiline Orations|Oration against Catiline]] is sometimes used in [[typesetting|type specimens]]: ''Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? Quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? .&nbsp;.&nbsp;.''


=== My only wish ===
Today's popular version of ''lorem ipsum'' was first created for [[Aldus Corporation]]'s first [[desktop publishing]] program [[Aldus PageMaker]] in the mid-1980s for the Apple Macintosh. Art director Laura Perry adapted older forms of the ''lorem'' text from [[typography]] samples. The text was frequently used in PageMaker templates.

===How are you===
Various pieces of software, including text editors (or plug-in modules for same), can generate semi-random "lorem text" that often has little or nothing in common with the canonical variety, other than looking like (and often being) jumbled Latin. Apple, Inc.'s Pages software, uses this jumbled text as a sample screenplay for their screenplay layout.
Fine, thank you.
