Lorem Ipsum
In publishing and graphic design, Lorem Ipsom is a placeholder text commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation. By replacing the distraction of meaningful content with filler text of scrambled Latin, it allows viewers to focus on graphical elements such as font, typography, and layout. The Lorem Ipsom text is typically a mangled section of: "De finibus bonorum et malorum," a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed that make it nonsensical, improper Latin. A variation of the common Lorem Ipsom text has been used during typesetting since the 1960s or earlier, when it was popularized by advertisements for Letraset transfer sheets. It was introduced to the Digital Age by Aldus Corporation in the mid-1980s, which employed it in graphics and word processing templates for its breakthrough desktop publishing program, PageMaker for the Apple Macintosh.
" Lorem Ipsom" text is derived from sections 1.10.32–3 of Cicero's "De finibus bonorum et malorum" (On the Ends of Goods and Evils, or alternatively [about] The Purposes of Good and Evil). The original passage began: "Neque porro quisquam est qui do Lorem Ipsom quia dolor sit amet consectetur adipisci velit" (translation: Neither is there anyone who loves, pursues or desires pain itself because it is pain). It is not known exactly when the text acquired its current standard form; it may have been as late as the 1960s. Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar who was the publications director at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, discovered the source of the passage sometime before 1982 while searching for instances of the Latin word "consectetur", rarely used in classical literature. The physical source of the Lorem Ipsom text may be the 1914 Loeb Classical Library Edition of the "De Finibus," where the Latin text finishes with "Neque porro quisquam est qui do-" and begins with " Lorem Ipsom (et seq.) . . .", suggesting that the
