I whipped up a little Bacon Ipsum jQuery plugin that uses our API to generate some meaty goodness. When you’re mocking up a design, now you can use this plugin in your HTML rather than static text.
You can reference the plugin from our server or download it and use it locally.

The easiest way to use it is just to call the method with no options.
$(‘#placeholder’).BaconIpsum();
You can also pass in options.
$(‘#placeholder).BaconIpsum({ type:’all-meat’, paras:5, start_with_lorem:false });
$(‘#placeholder).BaconIpsum({ type:’meat-and-filler’, sentences:1, start_with_lorem:true });
- type: either ‘all-meat’ or ‘meat-and-filler’
- paras: number of paragraphs
- sentences: number of sentences (this overrides paragraphs)
- start_with_lorem: true or false to start the text with ‘Bacon ipsum dolor sit amet’
- no_tags: true or false, pass true to not wrap the return value in <p> tags
There’s a sample page on GitHub with some example code.
