Why Use a Lorem Ipsum Generator?
Lorem Ipsum, derived from a classical Latin text, has become the industry standard for dummy text for several reasons:
Realistic Appearance: It has a variable word length and sentence structure, closely resembling actual written English (or other Latin-based languages).
Focus on Design: Because the text itself is nonsensical, viewers are less likely to be distracted by reading it and can focus purely on the visual layout and typography.
Universally Recognized: Most designers and clients understand its purpose as temporary placeholder content.
Availability: Easy to generate in various lengths and formats.

Understanding Placeholder Text
Placeholder or "dummy" text acts as a temporary substitute for actual content. It's essential during the design process to visualize how text will flow, wrap, and interact with other page elements like images and headings. Using Lorem Ipsum prevents the "empty space" problem and allows stakeholders to approve a design based on its structure and aesthetics before final content is ready.
