No matter which dropdown I choose, I still get the same text: "John...John...John.,Okay.,John.,John.,Look: The Glengarry Highland's leads, you're sending Roma out.,Fine.,He's a good man.,We know what he is.,He's fine.,All I'm saying, you look at the board, he's throwing...wait, wait, wait, he's throwing them away, he's throwing the leads away.,All that I'm saying, that you're wasting leads."

I'll stick with http://lipsum.org - or ~/Documents/lipsum.txt

Thanks for taking the time to check this out. Both scripts have the same content. I just needed more than one script so that I could play with more than one element in clojure's sequence data structs.

Also, I had trouble finding anything other than Glengarry Glen Ross. Pointers to other scripts and screenplays are greatly appreciated.

One advantage to this over the methods you mention is the ability to use your own Handlebar template. FYI.

I've made an update so that the two scripts are, in fact, different.

I always use http://www.blindtextgenerator.com/lorem-ipsum

It has more options for breaking text into paragraphs than c&p lorem ipsum and doing it manually. The only issue I have with it is pasting into a cms window keeps the styles from their site so if I do that, it'll go through notepad first.

I'm having the same issue with Mamet Ipsum, it pastes as Arial with the flesh-colored background. I'd love to have a plain text option for this reason.

One other thing that would make me use this generator over others would be if there were a way on Mamet Ipsum to generate different-sized paragraphs, such as 20 words, 60 words, 30 words, 100 words, etc. on random with a refresh button to re-generate random paragraph sizes.

(edited with more feedback since I am no longer on a phone)

For plain text, remove the div tags on the Template tab, then click the little clipboard icon. After that, just paste it wherever.

I don't understand the reference to "Hello, World." Do you mean that that a Lorem Ipsum generator is the new equivalent to a "Hello, World" program, or that Lorem Ipsum text is the new equivalent to the string "Hello, World," or something else?

The former. I wrote this to learn clojure. So I mean that a lorem ipsum generator is the new "Hello, World!".
