An extension for Brackets to generate Lorem Ipsum text automatically.
- Select Brackets > File > Extension Manager...
- Search for this extension.
- Click on the Install button.
For plaintext Lorem Ipsum, type lorem then press the Ctrl-Shift-L keyboard shortcut.
The default keyboard shortcut is the same for all supported platforms.
You can also add options to the lorem command with an underscore character
followed by the option name. For example: lorem_wrap40. Multiple options
can also be chained together. For example, typing lorem_html_wrap40 and
then pressing the Tab key will give you html formatted Lorem Ipsum text
and a word wrap width of 40 characters. Using an unrecognized option will
insert an error message into the document. Using more than one underscore
character in a row (e.g. lorem__html___p3) will insert an error message
into the document.
Note: Options to the far right of the chain always have the highest
priority. If two options in the chain conflict with each other, the option
on the right will have precedence. For example, the command lorem_nowrap_wrap40
will insert Lorem Ipsum text with a word wrap width of 40 characters and the
command lorem_wrap40_nowrap will insert Lorem Ipsum text with no word wrapping.
_p[count]: Inserts a certain number of random Lorem Ipsum paragraphs into
the current document. The count option indicates how many paragraphs to insert.
For example, lorem_p3 will insert three paragraphs into the document.
If the count option is not provided, one paragraph will be inserted.
If the type of Lorem Ipsum text is not specified, the extension will generate
paragraphs by default.
_s[count]: Inserts a certain number of random Lorem Ipsum sentences into
the current document. The count option indicates how many sentences to insert.
For example, lorem_s3 will insert three sentences into the document.
If the count option is not provided, one sentence will be inserted.
_w[count]: Inserts a certain number of random Lorem Ipsum words into the
current document. The count option indicates how many words to insert.
For example, lorem_w40 will insert 40 random words into the document.
If the count option is not provided, one word will be inserted.
_short: Makes all sentences or paragraphs short length.
_medium: Makes all sentences or paragraphs medium length.
If no size options are provided, the extension will use _medium
as the default option.
_long: Makes all sentences or paragraphs long length.
_vlong: Makes all sentences or paragraphs very long length.
_nowrap: Inserts Lorem Ipsum text without any word wrapping.
_wrap[width]: Word wraps Lorem Ipsum text using the specified width
For example, lorem_wrap40 will wrap the text at 40 characters. If a word wrap
option is not provided, the extension will use _wrap80 as the default option.
If you want to turn word wrap off, use the _nowrap option. This option has
no effect on the _link, _ol, or _ul options.
_link[count]: Inserts a certain number of random Lorem Ipsum HTML links into
the current document. The HTML link will always point to http://www.brackets.io.
The count option indicates how many links to insert. For example, lorem_link3
will insert three links, separated by page breaks, into the document. If the
count option is not provided, one link will be inserted. To avoid badly
formatted HTML, the _link option ignores any _wrap options and is always
set to _nowrap.
_ol[count], _ul[count]: Inserts a random Lorem Ipsum HTML list into
the current document. Use _ol for an ordered list and _ul for an unordered
list. The count option indicates how many list items to insert. For example,
lorem_ol3 will insert an ordered list with three list items into the document.
If the count option is not provided, a list with one item will be inserted.
To avoid badly formatted HTML, both of these options ignore any _wrap options
and are always set to _nowrap.
_orig[count]: This option will insert the original Lorem Ipsum paragraph
into the current document. The count option indicates how many paragraphs to
insert. For example, lorem_orig3 will insert three original Lorem Ipsum paragraphs
into the document. If the count option is not provided, one original Lorem Ipsum
paragraph will be inserted. Only the _nowrap, _wrap, and _html options will
work with this option.
_fortune[count]: For when you get sick of nonsensical Latin phrases, this
option will insert random fortunes (similar to the Unix fortune program) into
the current document. The count option indicates how many fortunes to insert.
For example, lorem_fortune3 will insert three fortunes into the document. If
the count option is not provided, one fortune will be inserted.
_html: Wraps Lorem Ipsum text in <p></p> tags so it displays correctly in
HTML. For options _p, _s, and _fortune each individual paragraph, sentence,
or fortune is wrapped. For options _w and _link, the entire collection of
words or links is wrapped. This option is not available for lists since lists
are not inline elements.
_?, _help: Displays help for the Lorem Ipsum extension. If this option is used, all other options will be ignored and no Lorem Ipsum text will be generated.
Note: Any option that has a number associated with it (e.g. _p3, _wrap40)
can also be entered with the number portion in front of the option
(i.e. _3p, _40wrap) and it will work the same way.
