About this plugin

WP-Lipsum includes a collection of template fragments representing lots of common page types, from simple lorem ipsum paragraphs to demos of the WP comment system, and more. It works via a simple shortcode or template tag.

Using the Shortcode

This outputs the basic content block. php.

[lipsum template=aux]

This outputs the auxilary lipsum page, with tables, definition lists, and more. php.

[lipsum repeat=4]

This outputs 4 simple paragphs of lorem ipsum text. php.

[lipsum template=ol repeat=3]

This loads the ordered list template and displays it 3 times.

[lipsum t=ol r=3]

You can also use “t” and “r” as parameter shortcuts.
