Lorem Ipsum with other charsets

  • Reported by Nate
There are a number of Lorem Ipsum generators, each of them shovels out paragraphs of gibberish (also known as "greeking") that designers can use to simulate blocks of text for layout comps. Marek writes in to let us know about his latest effort on just such a web app. His version is especially notable for it's ability to deliver it's results with non-english charsets. I prefer the simple interface, but there's more explanation on the full page version.

There used to be one around that let you choose from different text sources. Some of the choices I think were Wuthering Heights, Shakespeare, ... hmm. can't remember any others.

Don't know where it is now though. And Google is no help so far.

Anyone know where it can be found?

I'm totally switching to Esperanto lipsum.

And there's always the Postmodernism Generator for more of an academic flavor.

For the very, very lazy, I added an one-click interface: _latin
