Lorem
Module to generate random texts and words.
Overview
Generate dummy content using traditional faux-Latin lorem ipsum (in other locales to en, alternative words may be used).
In order of increasing size you can generate a single word(), multiple words(), a sentence(), multiple sentences(), lines() separated by newlines, one paragraph(), or multiple paragraphs().
The generic text() method can be used to generate some text between one sentence and multiple paragraphs, while slug() generates an URL-friendly hyphenated string.
lines
Generates the given number lines of lorem separated by '\n'.
