• Function getContent:

Call of getContent will return a 'Lorem Ipsum' text in the selected format 'html', 'plain' or 'txt'. default value is 'html' Format 'plain' is without parahraphs. 'txt' means intend paragraphs and line breaks.

  echo $generator->getContent($numbOfWords, $format, $loremipsum);

• Function getParagraphs($nrOfParagraphs,$format='array',$loremipsum=true)
