In the development and testing phase of website templates, we often encounter a tricky problem: how to accurately evaluate the layout, style, and visual performance under different content lengths without real content?Manually filling in dummy data is not only inefficient but also difficult to simulate the richness of real content.loremIt can easily generate placeholder text, greatly simplifying the work of page display testing.

loremThe purpose and value of tags

loremThe core function of the label is to generate random text in the style of 'Lorem Ipsum'.This text, with its meaningless Latin structure, is widely used in the fields of design and typography to simulate the visual effects of real text without distracting the user's attention from the content itself.

For template developers of AnQiCMS,loremThe value of the label is reflected in the following aspects:

  1. Quickly fill in the content area:Whether it is the article detail page, product list item, or sidebar, throughloremThe label can quickly fill any length of text, avoiding layout chaos caused by missing content.
  2. Test layout stability:The length of different texts can affect the relative position and size of page elements (such as paragraphs, images, buttons).loremTags can help developers test whether the page layout remains stable and beautiful when the text content is added or deleted.
  3. Validate responsive design:It is crucial that text wraps, truncates, and displays properly across different screen sizes. UseloremThe label can simulate a large amount of text, test the responsive layout on various devices, and ensure that the content does not overflow or become too compressed to read on small screens.
  4. Preview the layout effect:Font size, line spacing, paragraph spacing, and other typesetting details need a sufficient amount of text to be intuitively felt.loremTags can provide real text streams, helping developers adjust these layout parameters to achieve **reading experience.
  5. Improve development efficiency:Say goodbye to tedious manual copy and paste, a simple line ofloremTags can meet the needs of placeholder text, allowing developers to focus more on core functions and design optimization.

How to use AnQiCMSloremtags

loremThe label usage is very intuitive and flexible, allowing you to control the quantity and type of generated text as needed. Its basic syntax structure is:{% lorem 数量 方法 random %}.

Here is a brief explanation of the parameters:

  • 数量This is a number that specifies how many texts you want to generate. It is used in conjunction with方法the parameter to decide whether to generate how many words or paragraphs.
  • 方法This is a character parameter used to define.数量Units.
    • wMeans generating a specified number of.words(words).
    • pMeans generating a specified number of.paragraphs(paragraphs).
    • b：represents generating a standard length ofBlocktext (block). If the quantity and method are not specified, the default is to generate a standard length of text block.
  • randomThis is an optional parameter. If added,randomEach time the page is loaded, the generated text content will be different.This is very useful for testing the layout performance under text diversity.If not added, the generated text content will be fixed each time.

The following are some actual examples to demonstrate its usage and expected output:

  1. Generate a text block of standard length:When you do not need to control the text length precisely, you can use it directly{% lorem %}. It will generate a complete, standard Lorem Ipsum text.

    -----
{% lorem %}
-----

    Output example (partial):

    -----
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam...
-----

  2. Generate a specified number of words:If you need to fill a smaller area or want to test the layout under a specific word count, you can usewmethod.

    -----
{% lorem 10 w %}
-----

    Output example:

    -----
sit accumsan in doming sea et nulla blandit rebum. dolor
-----

    (Note:)randomParameters can be added, such as{% lorem 10 w random %}，then each time the page is refreshed, these 10 words will be different.)

  3. Generate a specified number of paragraphs:For areas that need to simulate articles or long content,pthe method will be very convenient.

    -----
{% lorem 3 p %}
-----

    Output example (partial):

    -----
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam...</p>
<p>Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat nulla facilisis at vero eros...</p>
<p>Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor...</p>
-----

    Please note that when usingpthe method,loremLabels will automatically wrap each paragraph<p>Label.

actual application in the template

toloremThe label is very simple to embed into your HTML structure. For example, on an article detail page, you may want to have a placeholder for the article body.

<article>
    <h1>这是文章标题</h1>
    <div class="article-meta">
        <span>发布日期：2023-10-26</span>
        <span>阅读量：123</span>
    </div>
    <div class="article-content">
        {% lorem 5 p %} {# 生成5个段落作为文章内容 #}
    </div>
    <div class="sidebar">
        <h3>相关推荐</h3>
        <ul>
            <li>{% lorem 8 w %}</li> {# 模拟推荐文章标题 #}
            <li>{% lorem 8 w %}</li>
            <li>{% lorem 8 w %}</li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</article>

You can also useloremTags can be combined with other filters (Filters) to perform more complex text processing and testing. For example, usingwordwrapFilter to test the automatic line break effect of long text in a fixed-width container:

<div style="width: 200px; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;">
    <pre>{% filter wordwrap:20 %}{% lorem 100 w %}{% endfilter %}</pre>
</div>

This will be displayed in adivthat has been processedwordwrapProcessed lorem text, helping you visually see how the text wraps according to the set length.
