What this tool does
Placeholder text exists so that a layout can be judged as a layout. Set how many paragraphs and how many sentences in each, and the result comes with the word and character counts — which are usually what you actually needed, because the real question behind "give me some filler" is almost always whether the design still works when the text is twice as long as the sample.
Formula
sentences of 6 to 16 words, drawn from the usual Latin vocabulary

Frequently asked questions
Why use Latin rather than English?
Because the point is to look at the layout, not to read the words. Real language pulls the eye into the meaning, and the client starts commenting on the copy instead of the design. Lorem ipsum has roughly the letter distribution and word lengths of ordinary Latin-alphabet prose, so the page looks right while saying nothing at all. It has been used by typesetters for that reason since the sixteenth century.
