<p><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum">Lorem Ipsum</a></b> 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 <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor">popularised</a> in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.</p>

<p>Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin">Latin</a> professor at Hampden-Sydney College in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia">Virginia</a>, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.</p>
