"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."
"Generated Text" is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. "Generated Text" has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing "Generated Text" passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of "Generated Text".
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using "Generated Text" is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use "Generated Text" as their default model text, and a search for "Generated Text" will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, "Generated Text" is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a "Generated Text" passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. "Generated Text" comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "The Extremes of Good and Evil," by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance.
There are many variations of passages of "Generated Text" available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of "Generated Text", you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the "Generated Text" generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate "Generated Text" which looks reasonable. The "Generated Text" is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
