Nice work!

[gammawert]

I've been waiting for a "plain text"-lorem ipsum workflow. Great, thanks a lot.

[rice.shawn]

This is great.

[jgpippin]

Oh, cool; glad somebody other than me finds it useful.

[Saintongeais]

Parfait, merci !

[mina]

Very good work, thank you.

[Olmstead]

This one is incredible, thank you so much!  I had been using the 'Little Ipsum' menubar app for years, but this extension finally killed it. My slightly smaller menubar thanks you!

[jgpippin]

I love Little Ipsum, but I too try to get rid of menu bar items by finding replacement Alfred worfklows.  Glad you found it useful.

Thanks!

Thank you for this! The only thing that would make it better is if the word type was randomized so the output didn't always start with "lorem ipsum."

[dlbradford]

Very nice! Love the integer input for paragraphs. Agree with ekassel, a randomizer would add some value. maybe "Li 3 r" for three paragraphs randomized. Or something along those lines to allow random when desired.

I wanted to update this script to use Ruby instead of PHP. The PHP has been super slow for me. In the process, I added in the ability to randomize the generated Lorem Ipsum lines using the "r" or "random" final argument.

li 2           # copy 2 lines
li 2 random    # copy 2 lines random
li 500 r       # copy 500 lines random
