[Fun] Lorem Ipsum generator

[Stef123]

You know what would be the icing on the cake? To optionally get the paragraphs wrapped in html paragraph tags
Maybe by throwing in the letter "t", or with a checkbox, or any other way.

[highend]

Now you can wrap paragraphs in <p></p> tags...

Input examples:

10 = 10 paragraphs, between 5 and 35 sentences each (random - default values)
10,5 = 10 paragraphs, 5 sentences each
10,1-10 = 10 paragraphs, between 1 and 10 sentences each (random)
10,5-20,w = 10 paragraphs, between 5 and 20 sentences each (random), wrapped in tags

Thank you all for your interest in this

.                     (lazy day today?   )

btw, I've converted the original script to a UDF. See first post. It can now also read a file for the words.

One of the example generates paragraphs.
Alter `ceil($maxWordsCount*80/100)` this bit in that example for more random paragraph lengths

Thanks for the variations, guyz!

I was just moving towards the full randomization... luckily I've checked the forums first, today!
Have a nice day, all!

-yesterday I noticed how hard it is to find large bits of sample text across the net, with zero patience to look after txt e-books which could fit (or not!) my demand...

[Stef123]

Brilliant. Many thanks highend
And thanks to Sammay for getting this started.
@SkyFrontier - try the attached philosophy generator.

Haha, thank you, Stef!
A most productive approach on ipsumnation...

"It can now also read a file for the words."

How to do this?

[bdeshi]

Suppose the lipsumgen function is saved in <xyscripts>\inc\lipsumgen.xyi and you have a space-separated wordlist saved as <xydata>\wordlist.txt
Then here's an example that will create a 500-word text from that file.

Code: Select all

INCLUDE "inc\LipsumGen.xyi";

"lipsumFileTest"
  text LipsumGen(500, "<xydata>\wordlist.txt");

[Irwin of Upton]

Will put together the first "wordlist" and try it out. Looks promising!

[bdeshi]

remember words should be separated by space.
Forget that, I just added a separator variable. You can create a |-separated wordlist and do this now: ::text lipsumgen(40, "wordlist.txt", "|");
