Variations[edit]
A Lorem ipsum placeholder text was inadvertently published in the Singapore newspaper The Straits Times on 26 April 2014
Lorem ipsum passages were popularized on Letraset dry-transfer sheets from the early 1970s, which were produced to be used by graphic designers for filler text.[3][4] Aldus Corporation created a version in the mid-1980s for their desktop publishing program PageMaker.[4]
A variety of software today can generate semi-random text which looks like jumbled Latin.[6] Apple's Pages and Keynote software employs such jumbled text as sample screenplay layout. Lorem ipsum is also featured on Joomla!, Google Docs, Google Slides, and WordPress web content managers. Microsoft Word[7] and BBEdit have a Lorem ipsum generation feature. Several LaTeX packages produce Lorem ipsum–style text.[8][9]
