Snozzcumber!
Lorem Ipsum for Atom, with a Roald Dahl twist. It's yet another dummy text generator. But this one uses phrases from Roald Dahl stories.
Try it yourself this foulsome snozzcumber!
It's based on the Snozzcumber Javascript library
From the library
If like me you use a lot of dummy text when building your projects, but hate seeing "Lorem Ipsum" all over your pages, this might be for you. It generates real-looking, fun text drawn from an array of Roald Dahl books.
I realise that this means that there might be some copyright issues here. This was developed as a bit of fun, and certainly not for commercial gain. If you are the copyright holder and want this removing from circulation please contact me and I'll remove it as soon as possible.
The phrases were taken from the following webpages:

Usage
To use this, load the command panel, type "Snozzcumber" and choose the relevant option. You probably only actually need to type "snoz" to see the options - there aren't a lot of other packages with a similar name.
Alternatively you can right click and choose "Snozzcumber", or choose "Snozzcumber" from the Packages menu. The available options are:
- Phrase - Chooses a random Roald Dahl phrase.
- Paragraph - Generates a paragraph based on a random number of phrases.
- Paragraphs - Prints out n paragraphs, where n is set in the config.
Config options
There are a number of configuration options:
Number of Paragraphs
The number of paragraphs to generate when running the 'paragraphs' command".
The default value is 4.
HTML Extensions
You can also specify a list of file extensions where any paragraphs generated
will be wrapped in HTML <p> </p> tags. This option is a list of file
extensions for HTML file types.
The default values are:
- .html
- .htm (does anyone still use this?)
- .php (I'm not sure whether this should be included here or not, but you can override it if you want to)
- .twig (Twig templates)
- .tpl (Smarty templates)
When adding others, these should be added in lowercase, and remember to include the opening '.'
