The plugin contains two shortcodes, `[lorem]` and `[loremimage]`, the `[loremimage]` shortcode can be nested in the `[lorem]` shortcode. The shortcodes generates dummy text and image when needed.

Add the `[lorem]` and/or `[loremimage]` shortcode to a post or page, or if the [Shortcode UI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-ui/) plugin is installed and activated, in the visual editor, click `Add Media->Insert Post Element->Lorem Ipsum` to add the shortcode.
= Parameters, all are optional =
**[lorem]**
* p="3" Number of paragraphs. Default is 5
* l="7", Number of lines per paragraph. Default is 3
* align="right" This tells how you'd like to allign a nested shortcode. There are two alternatives, left or right. Default is right
**[loremimage]**
The loremimage is created using [http://dummyimage.com/](http://dummyimage.com/), and hence the shortcode supports the same parameters as [http://dummyimage.com/](http://dummyimage.com/).

* text="lorem ipsum" Default is empty
* fgcolor="fff" Image foreground color. Default is "ccc"

* format="png", Image format. Default is "png"
I've added two additional parameters/values
* size="thumb" This will create a thumbnail, size based on your WordPress image settings. The thumb links to another image and support Lightbox et al (has attribute `rel="lightbox[lorem]"`).
* style="padding:5px;" Adds a style to the loremimage. Default is empty

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Where's the Shortcode UI? =
You need to install the [Shortcode UI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-ui/) plugin. When the Shortcode UI plugin is installed and activated, in the visual editor, click `Add Media->Insert Post Element->Lorem Ipsum` to add the shortcode.
= What are shortcodes? =
Shortcode, a "shortcut to code", makes it easy to add funtionality to a page or post. When a page with a shortcode is saved, WordPress execute the linked code and embedds the output in the page.
= Writing your own shortcode plugin =
* [Smashing Magazine](http://www.smashingmagazine.com/) has a nice (as allways) article about [Mastering WordPress shortcodes](http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/02/02/mastering-wordpress-shortcodes/). The article has several examples you can use as a starting point for writing your own.
* At codplex, you'll find the [Shortcode API documented](http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API)
* Also, feel free to use this plugin as a template for you own shortcode plugin
