# LoremHelper - a placeholder content generator for Webby
# =======================================================
# based on Travis Dunn's Frank - lorem.rb:
# - https://github.com/blahed/frank/blob/master/lib/frank/lorem.rb
# - original license: https://github.com/blahed/frank/blob/master/LICENSE
#
# LoremHelper creates placeholder content for your Webby [http://webby.rubyforge.org/] projects. 
# It's great for quickly prototyping/wireframing a site.
#
# USAGE:
#
#   Lorem.sentence          # returns a single sentence
#   Lorem.words 5           # returns 5 individual words
#   Lorem.word              # returns a single word
#   Lorem.paragraph         # returns a single paragraph
#   Lorem.paragraphs 10     # returns 10 paragraphs
#   Lorem.date              # returns a full date - accepts a strftime format argument
#   Lorem.name              # returns a full name
#   Lorem.first_name        # returns a first name
#   Lorem.last_name         # returns a last name
#   Lorem.email             # returns an email address
#
# The image method returns a URL, not a full img tag:
#   Lorem.image(300, 400)                         #=> http://placehold.it/300x400
#   Lorem.image(300, 400, :background_color => '333', :color => 'fff')  #=> http://placehold.it/300x400/333/fff
#   Lorem.image(300, 400, :random_color => true)  #=> http://placehold.it/300x400/f47av7/9fbc34d
#   Lorem.image(300, 400, :text => 'blah')        #=> http://placehold.it/300x400&text=blah
#
# The image_tag method returns a complete HTML <img> tag. It has the same parameters as the image method.
#   Lorem.image_tag(300, 400, :text => 'blah')    #=> <img src='http://placehold.it/300x400&text=blah' width='300' height='400' alt='blah' />

can i assume you are building mocks/wireframes in webby?

I was, but I've since moved to using Middleman. It's great for prototyping.
