Why this page exists
Most Lorem Ipsum sites ask a question before they answer one. How many paragraphs, how many words, plain text or HTML — a small form standing between you and the thing you came for. If you already know the length you want, filling it in is a detour.
This page takes the other route. The paragraph is on screen when the page loads, the button copies it, and you are back in your layout. When you want a different length there is a separate page for each one, and its address says which — so the choice is made by the link you follow rather than by settings on a form.
The text itself is far older than the web. It is scrambled Latin lifted from Cicero’s De finibus bonorum et malorum, written in 45 BC, and a printer in the sixteenth century cut the passage up to make a type specimen. "Lorem" is not a Latin word at all — it is the tail of dolorem, split in half where the cut fell. Designers have set it ever since because it reads like language without asking to be read.
