Generate custom number of lorem ipsum words in HTML

With lorem + TAB I am able to generate some random words.

<body>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmodtempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodoconsequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit essecillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat nonproident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</body>

Now I want to generate more number of words, say 100 sentences of lorem text. Is there any way to do it in Sublime Text 3?

Solution

  • For sublime text 3 - refer to this github link for detailed steps

    LoremText 3 is a plugin for sublime text 3 that creates random/fixed lorem ipsum text.

    I recommend to visit the github page but still if you are interested in a brief overview of it, here it is -

    1. Download the extension (git way)

      git clone https://github.com/ccpalettes/sublime-lorem-text.git
git checkout sublime-text-3-beta

    2. Then open "Packages" directory through Preferences -> Browse Packages... and select the downloaded package (for linux)

    3. Usage

    There are a few ways to use the LoremText plugin.

    Just press the shortcut key (alt+l on all platforms) to insert some lorem ipsum text. Type lorem({word_count}, {paragraph_count}) in your file, make sure that the input curosr is within the region of the lorem{?, ?} expression, then press the shortcut key (alt+l). Parameter "word_count" represents how many paragraphs to insert and parameter "paragraph_count" represents how many words that each paragraph contains. For example, lorem(100, 3) means that it will create three paragraphs of lorem ipsum text and each paragraph contains one hundred words. Both the two parameters are optional, if you leave them empty, the plugin will use default values that are configured in the settings file. Select menu entry Edit -> Lorem Text..., active the sub-menu commands. Go to Command Palette, find "Lorem Text" command.
