## Description

I’m not sure when you will ever need to use it but here are two simple to use shortcodes
that will generate Lorem Ipsum and a Place Holder image.
 The shortcode [loremipsum]
uses [ loripsum.net](http://loripsum.net) API. It is easy to set the options as 
well. Add the paragraph attribute to change how many paragraphs are displayed, the
length attribute changes the average length (short, medium, long or verylong) and
the options attribute allows you to list any of the other options (seperated by ‘/’).
Here is the break down of the availible options:

 * decorate – Add bold, italic and marked text.
 * link – Add links.
 * ul – Add unordered lists.
 * ol – Add numbered lists.
 * dl – Add description lists.
 * bq – Add blockquotes.
 * code – Add code samples.
 * headers – Add headers.
 * allcaps – Use ALL CAPS.
 * prude – Prude version.
 * plaintext – Return plain text, no HTML.

An example of the shortcode with some of the options:

[loremipsum paragraph=”3″ length=”long” options=”decorate/link/code”]

This will generate this content [http://loripsum.net/api/3/long/decorate/link/code](http://loripsum.net/api/3/long/decorate/link/code)

The [placeholder] shortcode will generate an image from [placehold.it](http://placehold.it).
Add the size attribute to choose your size
 (100×100 is the default), the fill and
text attributes will take HEX colors. You can also choose the file type (png, jpg,
jpeg or gif, gif is the default) as well as change the words inside the image (the
size is the default).

Here is an example:

[placeholder size=”200×200″ fill=”CCCCCC” text=”FFFFFF” words=”Hello WordPress!”
type=”png”]

[http://placehold.it/200×200/CCCCCC/FFFFFF.png&text=Hello+Wordpress!](http://placehold.it/200x200/CCCCCC/FFFFFF.png&text=Hello+Wordpress!)
