About

This is not a standalone theme. It is a Hugo theme component providing a shortcode: loremipsum to generate greek text paragraphs.

It starts off with a standard "Lorem ipsum …" text, then randomises the sentence order on each subsequent paragraph.

Usage

1. Add the hugo-loremipsum as a submodule to be able to get upstream changes later git submodule add https://github.com/martignoni/hugo-loremipsum.git themes/hugo-loremipsum
2. Add hugo-loremipsum as the left-most element of the theme list variable in your site's or theme's configuration file config.yaml or config.toml. Example, with config.yaml:

   theme: ["hugo-loremipsum", "my-theme"]

   or, with config.toml,

   theme = ["hugo-loremipsum", "my-theme"]

3. In your site, use the shortcode, e.g. to generate 3 paragraphs of Lorem ipsum greek text :

   {{< loremipsum 3 >}}

   or simply, for just one paragraph

   {{< loremipsum >}}
