Homonym: Dummy Content (Placeholder)
Dummy content refers to placeholder text or images used in design and development to fill spaces where actual content will eventually go. It helps designers visualize how a layout will look without needing the final text or graphics. A common example of dummy text is Lorem Ipsum, which is a scrambled version of Latin that has been used for centuries.
Using dummy content allows teams to focus on the overall design and functionality of a project without getting distracted by the specifics of the content. This practice is especially useful in web development, where developers can create a website's structure before the actual copywriting is completed.
