How to Use Bacon Ipsum Generator

For plaintext Bacon Ipsum, type bacon then press the Control key.

You can also add options to the bacon command with an underscore character followed by the option name. For example: bacon_wrap40. Multiple options can also be chained together. For example, typing bacon_html_wrap40 and then pressing the Control key will give you html formatted Bacon Ipsum text and a word wrap width of 40 characters. Using an unrecognized option will insert an error message into the document. Using more than one underscore character in a row (e.g. bacon__html___p3) will insert an error message into the document.

Note: Options to the far right of the chain always have the highest priority. If two options in the chain conflict with each other, the option on the right will have precedence. For example, the command bacon_nowrap_wrap40 will insert Bacon Ipsum text with a word wrap width of 40 characters and the command bacon_wrap40_nowrap will insert Bacon Ipsum text with no word wrapping.

List of Current Options

_p[count]: Inserts a certain number of random Bacon Ipsum paragraphs into the current document. The count option indicates how many paragraphs to insert. For example, bacon_p3 will insert three paragraphs into the document. If the count option is not provided, one paragraph will be inserted. If the type of Bacon Ipsum text is not specified, the extension will generate paragraphs by default.

_s[count]: Inserts a certain number of random Bacon Ipsum sentences into the current document. The count option indicates how many sentences to insert. For example, bacon_s3 will insert three sentences into the document. If the count option is not provided, one sentence will be inserted.

_w[count]: Inserts a certain number of random Bacon Ipsum words into the current document. The count option indicates how many words to insert. For example, bacon_w40 will insert 40 random words into the document. If the count option is not provided, one word will be inserted.

_short: Makes all sentences or paragraphs short length.

_medium: Makes all sentences or paragraphs medium length. If no size options are provided, the extension will use _medium as the default option.

_long: Makes all sentences or paragraphs long length.

_vlong: Makes all sentences or paragraphs very long length.

_nowrap: Inserts Bacon Ipsum text without any word wrapping.

_wrap[width]: Word wraps Bacon Ipsum text using the specified width For example, bacon_wrap40 will wrap the text at 40 characters. If a word wrap option is not provided, the extension will use _wrap80 as the default option. If you want to turn word wrap off, use the _nowrap option. This option has no effect on the _link, _ol, or _ul options.

_link[count]: Inserts a certain number of random Bacon Ipsum HTML links into the current document. The HTML link will always point to http://www.brackets.io. The count option indicates how many links to insert. For example, bacon_link3 will insert three links, separated by page breaks, into the document. If the count option is not provided, one link will be inserted. To avoid badly formatted HTML, the _link option ignores any _wrap options and is always set to _nowrap.

_ol[count], _ul[count]: Inserts a random Bacon Ipsum HTML list into the current document. Use _ol for an ordered list and _ul for an unordered list. The count option indicates how many list items to insert. For example, bacon_ol3 will insert an ordered list with three list items into the document. If the count option is not provided, a list with one item will be inserted. To avoid badly formatted HTML, both of these options ignore any _wrap options and are always set to _nowrap.

_fortune[count]: For when you get sick of nonsensical Latin phrases, this option will insert random fortunes (similar to the Unix fortune program) into the current document. The count option indicates how many fortunes to insert. For example, bacon_fortune3 will insert three fortunes into the document. If the count option is not provided, one fortune will be inserted.

_html: Wraps Bacon Ipsum text in <p></p> tags so it displays correctly in HTML. For options _p, _s, and _fortune each individual paragraph, sentence, or fortune is wrapped. For options _w and _link, the entire collection of words or links is wrapped. This option is not available for lists since lists are not inline elements.

_?, _help: Displays help for the Bacon Ipsum extension. If this option is used, all other options will be ignored and no Bacon Ipsum text will be generated.

Note: Any option that has a number associated with it (e.g. _p3, _wrap40) can also be entered with the number portion in front of the option (i.e. _3p, _40wrap) and it will work the same way.

Known Issues

Using with Emmet/Zen Code Extension: If you use this extension with the Emmet Brackets extension some of the Bacon Ipsum options may not work correctly. This is because both extensions use the Control key as a shortcut key.

The Control shortcut can be turned off in the Emmet extension. Go into "Preferences..." in the Emmet menu and uncheck the checkbox entitled "Expand abbreviations with Control key". If you uncheck that setting, you can use both extensions together by using Control to insert Bacon Ipsum text and expanding Emmet abbreviations with the alternative shortcut keys:

Ctrl-Alt-Enter on Windows and Command-Alt-Enter on Mac.
