Lipsum

About

Lipsum is a plugin for Geany that implements a Lorem Ipsum generator to insert placeholder text into your document.

Installation

This version of the plugin is installed with the combined geany-plugins release. Please check README of this package and/or https://plugins.geany.org/install.html.

Usage

After installed successfully, load the plugin in Geany's plugin manager and a new menu item in the Tools menu will appear.

To insert Lorem Ipsum to your document, either use the appearing menu item or use the keystroke which you can configure inside Geany's preferences dialog. Inside the dialog you can set up a length of the text. Values between 1 and 5000 chars are available here. If you choose a length that is not fitting with the length of the Lipsum snippet shipped with this plugin it will be repeated and cut so you will always get the wished number of chars inserted.

Development

You can checkout the current source code from the git repository at github.com. Get the code by:

git clone https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins.git
