Placeholder text that needs no explanation.
This text is going to be replaced once the web page is completed. If you're reading this on the final version of the web page, most likely someone forgot to replace it. You should probably let them know. Placeholder text is useful when you need to see what a page design looks like, but the actual content isn't available. It's like having someone with identical measurements check the fit of a dress before trying it on yourself.
A web developer will often use filler text so they can focus on the design of the web page. It will be replaced with real content later. There isn't a lot of value in these words. They are just telling you why they are here.
If the last thing you want to do is explain the history of why Latin text is being used as a placeholder in your design, this is the tool for you! Feel free to copy and paste this text and use it in your next project to eliminate any questions or concerns a client might have.
If you aren't into copying and pasting, you can also use the API to retrieve text. Use a GET request to:
honest-ipsum.johnclendvoy.ca/api?element_count=2&length=100
element
p
(paragraphs), or li
(list items in an unordered list). Default: p
