<h1><em>What is Lorem Ipsum?</em></h1>
<p>
<strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong> is simply dummy text of the printing
and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since
the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it
to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries,
but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially
unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset
sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop
publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
