5 Paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum
Five paragraphs is the standard unit of 'enough text to see the problem'. It fills an article body, exercises the spacing between blocks several times over, and produces a page tall enough to scroll on most screens.
Most spacing bugs are relational — they only appear in the gap between one element and the next. A single paragraph cannot show you those. Five gives you four separate junctions to inspect.
How to use 5 Paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum
Inspect the gaps, not the blocks
Look at the space between paragraphs rather than the paragraphs themselves. Inconsistent margins, collapsing-margin surprises, and first-or-last-child rules that fire when they shouldn't all reveal themselves at the junctions.
Add headings between them
Real articles interleave headings with body copy. Generate Markdown or HTML output with headings included to confirm your heading margins work in context rather than in isolation.
