lipsum-cli is a small terminal application written in Rust language. It's used for generating pseudo-Latin lorem ipsum filler text in terminal.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat…
This application uses lipsum library to generate text.
It also has the ability to generate text from a file or stdin.
shell
cargo install lipsum-cli
``
OPTIONS:
-f, --file <FILE> File input for the custom source. This has priority to stdin.
If not specified, stdin is used
-h, --help Print help information
-t, --text-source <TEXT_SOURCE> Text source to choose from. Ignored if stdin or-f` is used
[default: liber-primus] [possible values: liber-primus,
lorem-ipsum]
-V, --version Print version information
-w, --words
```
This will generate a string using Liber Primus like Grate Meminit et Praesentibus which should be suitable for use in a document title for section heading.
