DummyText Extension

Simple, quick and unobtrusive dummy text generator for web designers and developers. This extension installs a small icon in your browser allowing you quick access to paragraphs of dummy text (Lorem ipsum style) at the click of a button.

The number of paragraphs, words per paragraph and whether or not to wrap paragraphs in paragraph tags can be changed easily. Once happy with your selection, simply click the Copy button and the text is sent straight to your clipboard ready for pasting!

This extension is open source and the source code is available on GitHub: http://github.com/davgothic/DummyText

Chris Bidmead (ID: 0000000187c7d12d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/08/2020 Very handy. It's would be even better if there were an option to generate pure text without the HTLM paragraph markers. -- Chris

ibrahim pashaa (ID: 0000004da65686de) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2018 very needed and helpfull thats i love thanks

Stephan Meijer (ID: 000000104d864218) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/16/2018 Very helpful. Two tips for further improvement: - Improve paragraph support on Windows. Currently the blank line between paragraphs is removed in some cases. - Add keyboard shortcut to directly insert random text in the currently active input / textarea.

Letha Buckthorpe (ID: 0000007d2fe21474) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/28/2016 Works well for me. Nice to copy to clipboard and then easily in to text area.
