At the beginning of website template development, designers and developers often face a common challenge: how to effectively preview and adjust the layout, style, and responsive performance of the template without real content?If each modification requires manual input of a large amount of text to test the effect, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the development efficiency.loremIt can help us quickly generate placeholder text during the development phase, thus focusing on the visual presentation of the template itself.

loremThe magic use of tags

Essentially,loremLabel is a placeholder text generator that can output classic 'Lorem Ipsum' Latin text.The advantage of this text is that it does not contain specific meaning, allowing designers and users to focus on the design itself rather than the text content.loremThe label can seamlessly integrate into your template code without any additional configuration, and it can take effect immediately.

The simplest usage is to insert directly into the template file.{% lorem %}.After execution, it will automatically generate a standard, longer Lorem Ipsum text, which is very suitable for filling the main content area and quickly observing the basic layout effect of the text paragraphs in the template.

For example, in yourindex.htmlordetail.htmlTemplate usage: You might use it like this:

<div class="main-content">
    {% lorem %}
</div>

When you preview the page,<div class="main-content">the area will be filled with a long passage of Latin text, allowing you to see the content flow without needing actual articles.

Fine control placeholder text

loremLabels are not just simple text output, they also provide various parameters, allowing you to precisely control the number and type of generated text according to your actual needs:

  • Generate by word (w) Generate:If you need short and concise placeholder text, such as for titles, summaries, or navigation items, you can usewthe parameter and specify the number of words. For example,{% lorem 10 w %}This will generate a text containing 10 words.

    <h1>{% lorem 5 w %}</h1>
<p class="summary">{% lorem 20 w %}</p>

    This code will display a title consisting of 5 words and an abstract consisting of 20 words on the page.

  • Press the paragraph (p) Generate:For scenarios that require simulating multi-paragraph content or product descriptions,pthe parameter is more suitable. By specifying the number of paragraphs, you can create effects that are closer to the real content structure. For example,{% lorem 3 p %}This will generate 3 independent paragraphs.

    <article class="blog-post">
    {% lorem 3 p %}
</article>

    This will present three staggered placeholder texts in the article area.

  • Add randomness (random):To avoid visual fatigue or misdirection that may be caused by repetitive placeholder text, you can also addrandomThis will change the generated text content or sequence each time the page is loaded, helping you test the robustness of the template under different content conditions.

    <div class="sidebar-item">
    <h3>{% lorem 3 w random %}</h3>
    <p>{% lorem 15 w random %}</p>
</div>

    The sidebar title and content will display randomly generated placeholder text.

WhyloremAre tags so practical?

  1. Accelerate the development process: loremThe greatest value of the tag lies in saving time. You do not need to wait for the content team to provide copywriting, nor do you need to spend energy writing temporary content; you can start designing immediately.
  2. Focused on visual effects:When the content lacks specific meaning, your attention will naturally focus on elements such as layout, font, color, images, and other purely design elements, thus optimizing the user experience better.
  3. Convenient responsive testing:By adjustingloremLabel generation text length, you can easily simulate scenarios with more or less content volume, and check whether the wrapping, overflow, or blank space of content in different screen sizes is reasonable.
  4. Clear functional separation:In the template, if you see the Lorem Ipsum text, it explicitly reminds you that this part is placeholder content that needs to be replaced with real data eventually.This helps maintain the order of development work.

Use suggestions

Please be bold in the early stages of template development,loremTags applied to every area that requires text input. Choose flexibly by word or paragraph based on the expected content type. For example, menu items, button text can use{% lorem 2 w %}; The article title or short sentence can be used{% lorem 5 w %}; The article content, product introduction, etc., is suitable{% lorem 2 p %}or more paragraphs.

Of course,loremText is merely a placeholder. In the later stage of development, when the content structure is determined and the real data is ready, it must be replaced with tags from the Safe CMS (such asarchiveDetail/categoryDetailThe actual content dynamically retrieved. This ensures that the content presented on the website is accurate and conveys the intended information correctly.

In summary, the Anqi CMS'sloremThe label is an invaluable assistant in the template development process, solving the problem of missing content in a simple and efficient manner, allowing you to focus more on creating an excellent website visual experience.

Common Questions (FAQ)

  1. Q:loremDoes the label generation content support multilingual? Answer: loremThe label generates the standard Latin text "Lorem Ipsum", which was originally designed to provide a meaningless placeholder content, therefore it does not support multilingual.If you need placeholder text in other languages, you may need to copy and paste manually or use other tools to generate.

  2. Q:loremHow can the generated text be replaced with real content later? Answer: loremLabels are only used for visual previews during template development. The text they generate is not stored in the database as actual content. Once you are done with template development, just{% lorem ... %}Label replacement with the corresponding content label provided by AnQi CMS, for example.{{ archive.Title }}/{{ archive.Content|safe }}etc., you can obtain and display the real website content from the background.

  3. Q: Can IloremDo you add HTML tags or styles in the label? Answer: loremLabels are mainly used to generate placeholder text content.It does not directly support embedding HTML tags or applying inline styles in generated text.loremLabels should be placed inside the appropriate HTML structure and styled using external CSS for these HTML elements. For example, put{% lorem 3 p %}into<div class="content-body">auto, then use CSS to set.content-body pset the style.
