Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy 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 popularized in the 1960s with the release of Letterset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum
passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions
of Lorem Ipsum.
