Placeholder text that needs no explanation.
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. Some common names for what you are reading are: filler text, placeholder text, and dummy text.
You are currently reading Honest Ipsum, the placeholder text that needs no explanation. Don't waste too much of your time reading this placeholder text! 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.
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
