The History of Lorem Ipsum
Lorem Ipsum's origins trace back to 45 BC, specifically from Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil). The text we use today is derived from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of this philosophical work.
The standard passage used since the 1500s is:
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
The text gained prominence in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages. Its use expanded further in the digital age when desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker included it as their default placeholder text.
