Crate lipsum [−] [src]
Lorem ipsum generator.
This crate contains functions for generating pseudo-Latin lorem ipsum placeholder text. The traditional lorem ipsum text start like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. [...]
This text is in the LOREM_IPSUM constant. Random text looking
like the above can be generated using the lipsum function.
This function allows you to generate as much text as desired and
each invocation will generate different text. This is done using a
Markov chain based on both the LOREM_IPSUM and
LIBER_PRIMUS texts. The latter constant holds the full text of
the first book of a work by Cicero, of which the lorem ipsum text
is a scrambled subset.
The random looking text is generatd using a Markov chain of order
two, which simply means that the next word is based on the
previous two words in the input texts. The Markov chain can be
used with other input texts by creating an instance of
MarkovChain and calling its learn method.

| LOREM_IPSUM |
The traditional lorem ipsum text as given in Wikipedia. Using
this text alone for a Markov chain of order two doesn't work very
well since each bigram (two consequtive words) is followed by just
one other word. In other words, the Markov chain will always
produce the same output and recreate the lorem ipsum text
precisely. However, combining it with the full text in
