random_ipsum – randomized Lorem ipsum

We were sick of the ever-same blindtext made by TextMate etc. So here you go:

  >> require "random_ipsum"
  => true
  >> RandomIpsum.words
  => "Purus vulputate congue scelerisque a"
  >> RandomIpsum.words(2)
  => "Justo viverra"
  >> RandomIpsum.words(2)
  => "Sed ut"
  >> RandomIpsum.sentence
  => "Cras sapien lobortis Eleifend faucibus Porttitor fermentum, commodo eros amet."
  >> RandomIpsum.sentence(5)
  => "In risus posuere sit tellus."
  >> RandomIpsum.paragraphs
  => "Volutpat commodo ligula tempus blandit dui Suscipit Ornare sem praesent nam cursus. Nisi Nonummy ullamcorper duis auctor lacus phasellus massa, lorem pede.\n\nElit metus tristique augue, tortor Gravida Lobortis Auctor suscipit vel porta tincidunt donec. Amet porta venenatis consequat bibendum integer Morbi et fames, euismod."

RandomIpsum.words(nomber_of_words)

RandomIpsum.sentence(number_of_words)

RandomIpsum.paragraphs(number_of_paragraphs, number_of_sentences, number_of_words)

To control the actual output, the following constants may be overridden:

Average number of capitalized words (apart from the first word in a sentence).

Average number of words that are followed by a comma.

String used to join the individual paragraphs.

String used to join the individual sentences in a paragraph.

If you find a bug, please let me know using the GitHub Bugtracker.

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it
• Fork the project
• Start a feature/bugfix branch
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
• Feel free to send a pull request if you think others (me, for example) would like to have your change incorporated into future versions of random_ipsum.
