About Lorem Ipsum
Lorem Ipsum is dummy text used in the printing and typesetting industry. It 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. Lorem Ipsum helps designers and developers focus on layout and design without being distracted by readable content.
Common Use Cases
- Design Mockups: Fill layouts with placeholder text during design
- Content Placeholders: Use in development before real content is available

- Prototyping: Create realistic-looking prototypes quickly
