I’m not sure when you will ever need to use it but here are two simple to use shortcodes that will generate Lorem Ipsum and a Place Holder image. 
The shortcode [loremipsum] uses <a href="http://loripsum.net" rel="nofollow ugc"> loripsum.net</a> API. It is easy to set the options as well. 
Add the paragraph attribute to change how many paragraphs are displayed, the length attribute changes the average length (short, medium, long or verylong) and the options attribute allows you to list any of the other options (seperated by ‘/’). 
Here is the break down of the availible options:
<ul>
<li>decorate – Add bold, italic and marked text.</li>
<li>link – Add links.</li>
<li>ul – Add unordered lists.</li>
<li>ol – Add numbered lists.</li>
<li>dl – Add description lists.</li>
<li>bq – Add blockquotes.</li>
<li>code – Add code samples.</li>
<li>headers – Add headers.</li>
<li>allcaps – Use ALL CAPS.</li>
<li>prude – Prude version.</li>
<li>plaintext – Return plain text, no HTML.</li>
</ul>
An example of the shortcode with some of the options:
[loremipsum paragraph=”3″ length=”long” options=”decorate/link/code”]
This will generate this content <a href="http://loripsum.net/api/3/long/decorate/link/code" rel="nofollow ugc">http://loripsum.net/api/3/long/decorate/link/code</a>
The [placeholder] shortcode will generate an image from <a href="http://placehold.it" rel="nofollow ugc">placehold.it</a>. Add the size attribute to choose your size 
(100×100 is the default), the fill and text attributes will take HEX colors. You can also choose the file type (png, jpg, jpeg or gif, gif is the 
default) as well as change the words inside the image (the size is the default).
Here is an example:
[placeholder size=”200×200″ fill=”CCCCCC” text=”FFFFFF” words=”Hello WordPress!” type=”png”]
<a href="http://placehold.it/200x200/CCCCCC/FFFFFF.png&text=Hello+Wordpress!" rel="nofollow ugc">http://placehold.it/200×200/CCCCCC/FFFFFF.png&text=Hello+Wordpress!</a>

WP-Lipsum includes a collection of template fragments representing lots of common page types, from simple lorem ipsum paragraphs to demos of the WP comment system, and more. It works via a simple shortcode or template tag.
<h4>Using the Shortcode</h4>
<pre><code>[lipsum]
</code></pre>
This outputs the basic content block. You can edit this in wp-lipsum/templates/basic.php.
<pre><code>[lipsum template=aux]
</code></pre>
This outputs the auxilary lipsum page, with tables, definition lists, and more. You can edit this in templates/aux.php.
<pre><code>[lipsum repeat=4]
</code></pre>
This outputs 4 simple paragphs of lorem ipsum text. You can edit the text in templates/p.php.
<pre><code>[lipsum template=ol repeat=3]
</code></pre>
This loads the ordered list template and displays it 3 times.
<pre><code>[lipsum t=ol r=3]
</code></pre>
You can also use “t” and “r” as parameter shortcuts.
<h4>Lipsum Templates and Fragments</h4>
Here are the full pages of lipsum content available:
<ul>
<li>Basic Content – “basic”</li>
<li>Aux Content – “aux”</li>
<li>Blog Demo – “blog”</li>
<li>Single Post Demo – “single”</li>
<li>Headline List – “headline_list”</li>
<li>Gallery Demo – “gallery”</li>
<li>Portfolio Demo – “portfolio”</li>
<li>Long Header Examples – “long_headers”</li>
<li>Short Content Demo – “short”</li>
<li>Template Fragments</li>
</ul>
You can also call these smaller fragments, and use the “repeat” parameter:
<ul>
<li>Single Paragraph – “p”</li>
<li>Unordered List – “ul”</li>
<li>Ordered List – “ol”</li>
<li>Definition List – “dl”</li>
<li>Table Example – “table”</li>
<li>Blockquote – “blockquote”</li>
<li>Blog Teaser – “blog_teaser”</li>
<li>Image (without caption) – “img”</li>
<li>Image with WP Caption – “caption”</li>
<li>Code Demo – “code”</li>
<li>Comments Demo – “comments”</li>
<li>Gallery Item – “gallery_item”</li>
<li>List of Headers – “headers”</li>
<li>Headline Teaser – “headline_teaser”</li>
<li>Misc Content – “misc”</li>
<li>Portfolio Item – “portfolio_item”</li>
</ul>
All lipsum template snippets are located in plugins/wp-lipsum/templates. You can easily add new template files in here, and call them with the “template” attribute.
Templates use Bedrock conventions, including class names (like .table-style and .post-nav), using H1s and H2s only for titles, and other concepts.
<h4>Image Dimensions</h4>
For the image templates, you can also pass in custom dimensions with the “width”, “height” and “align” parameters (shorcuts w, h and a). This works for the img, caption, portfolio & portfolio_item, and gallery & gallery_item templates.
<pre><code>[lipsum template=img width=300 height=150]

[lipsum t=caption w=300 h=150 a=right]

[lipsum t=gallery w=500 h=220]

[lipsum t=portfolio w=100 h=100]
</code></pre>
Align can be set to “left”, “right”, “center” or “none”. These parameters default to 200×200, and alignleft.
<h4>Using the Template Tag</h4>
You can also call the plugin from your theme code, by using the display_lipsum_template() function:
<pre><code><?php display_lipsum_template($template, $repeat); ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('basic') ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('table', 4) ?>
<?php display_lipsum_template('caption', 1, 500, 300, 'right') ?>
</code></pre>
