Lorem Ipsum is simply text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem | |
Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, | |
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a | |
type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the | |
leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was | |
popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing | |
Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software | |
like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. | |
