lorem ipsum


lor·em ip·sum

L5268125 (lôr′əm ĭp′səm)n. Text consisting of jumbled fragments of Latin words, used as a placeholder in designing the layout of a document.
[From the first two words traditionally used in such text (taken from the phrase (Neque porro quisquam est qui do)lorem ipsum (quia dolor sit amet), "Nor is there anyone who loves pain for pain's sake," in Cicero's philosophical work De finibus bonorum et malorum ("On the Ends of Good and Evil")).]

Lorem ipsum


Lorem ipsum

(text)A common piece of text used as mock-content whentesting a given page layout or font.

The following text is often used:

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetaur adipisicing elit,sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magnaaliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitationullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duisaute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit essecillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sintoccaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officiadeserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

This continues at length and variously. The text is notreally Greek, but badly garbled Latin. It started life asextracted phrases from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 ofCicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" ("The Extremes ofGood and Evil"), which read:

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatemaccusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaqueipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architectobeatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatemquia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quiaconsequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequinesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quiadolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia nonnumquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnamaliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quisnostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam,nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eumiure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihilmolestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quovoluptas nulla pariatur?

Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur asapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maioresalias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperioresrepellat.

Translation:

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea ofdenouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will giveyou a complete account of the system, and expound the actualteachings of the great explorer of the truth, themaster-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes,or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but becausethose who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationallyencounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor againis there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain painof itself, because it is pain, but because occasionallycircumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure himsome great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of usever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtainsome advantage from it? But who has any right to find faultwith a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has noannoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that producesno resultant pleasure?

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation anddislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charmsof pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that theycannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue;and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their dutythrough weakness of will, which is the same as saying throughshrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectlysimple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when ourpower of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents ourbeing able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to bewelcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstancesand owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of businessit will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiatedand annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holdsin these matters to this principle of selection: he rejectspleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else heendures pains to avoid worse pains.

-- Translation by H. Rackham, from his 1914 edition of DeFinibus.

However, since textual fidelity was unimportant to the goal ofhaving random text to fill a page, it has degraded over thecenturies, into "Lorem ipsum...".

The point of using this text, or some other text of incidentalintelligibility, is that it has a more-or-less normal (forEnglish and Latin, at least) distribution of ascenders,descenders, and word-lengths, as opposed to just using "abc123 abc 123", "Content here content here", or the like.

The text is often used when previewing the layout of adocument, as the use of more understandable text woulddistract the user from the layout being examined. A relatedtechnique is greeking.
