Why Do We Use Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is popular because it approximates a common distribution of spaces and letters in English, resulting in a more natural-looking block of text. Lorem Ipsum is widely used for the following reasons:
- Visual Placeholder: Lorem Ipsum represents the material visually without distracting the reader with important text. It allows designers and customers to concentrate on the aesthetic features of a design, such as typography and layout, rather than the content.
- Non-Distracting: Because it's meaningless Latin, it doesn't detract from the design components. Viewers will not be forced to read the text; instead, they may concentrate on the overall appearance and feel of the design.
- Standardized Length: The text contains a fairly typical distribution of letters and word lengths, making it resemble conventional English language. This feature is critical for illustrating how a page of text will look.
- Industry Standard: It has been used in the printing and typesetting industries for decades. Because of its lengthy history and broad use, it has become a standard practise in the area.
- Easily Replaced: Designers employ Lorem Ipsum knowing that it will be replaced with genuine content. Its usage allows designers and clients to easily see where the actual content will sit.
- Prevents Premature Design Approval: When using genuine content, clients may choose to evaluate and approve the text rather than the design. Lorem Ipsum helps to avoid this problem by clearly indicating that the text is a placeholder.
- Versatile: It may be utilised for a wide range of applications, from print media to online design, and it is appropriate for both English and non-English design projects.

Key Points:
- Nonsensical Text: While it's derived from a Latin text, Lorem Ipsum doesn't translate directly into coherent English sentences. Its nonsensical nature ensures that readers focus on the design rather than the text.
- Visual Placeholder: It's used as a placeholder to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or a visual presentation, like font, typography, and layout.
- Industry Standard: Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

What are the best practices for YAML formatting?
When formatting YAML, it's essential to maintain consistent 2-space indentation and use spaces instead of tabs. Key-value pairs should be separated by a colon and a space, while lists begin with a dash and a space. For strings with special characters, use double quotes, but they can be omitted for simpler strings. Comments should start with a # and a space. Nested key-value pairs in associative arrays should have consistent indentation, and trailing whitespaces at the end of lines should be avoided. For repeated nodes, anchors and aliases with & and * can be beneficial. Starting a document with --- is a good practice, even if optional. Lastly, always use safe loading when parsing YAML to ensure security.
