A Django template is a text document or a Python string marked-up using the Django template language. Django being a powerful Batteries included framework provides convenience to rendering data in a template. Django templates not only allow passing data from view to template, but also provides some limited features of programming such as variables, for loops, comments, extends, include, lorem etc.
This article revolves about how to use lorem tag in Templates. lorem tag displays random “lorem ipsum” Latin text. This is useful for providing sample data in templates.

Syntax

{% lorem [count] [method] [random] %}

count – A number (or variable) containing the number of paragraphs or words to generate (default is 1).
method – Either w for words, p for HTML paragraphs or b for plain-text paragraph blocks (default is b).
random – The word random, which if given, does not use the common paragraph (“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…”) when generating text.

from django.shortcuts import render

def geeks_view(request): 
  
    # return response 
    return render(request, "geeks.html.html") 

Create a url path to map to this view. In geeks/urls.py,

from django.urls import path 
  
# importing views from views.py 
from .views import geeks_view 
  
urlpatterns = [ 
    path('', geeks_view),
