I also love http://www.blindtextgenerator.de/ :) For the WebCMS of my employer I wrote a macro that produces dummy text = of a defined length (min, max) from a selection of different texts = (blindtextgenerator=92s, that is, plus some company advertising) to fill = new customer=92s sites. To get more different texts, it starts after a = random full stop, delivers only complete words etc. (we often need = short dummy text for headlines). It=92s not an example of brilliant programming, but we use freemarker = templates, and its macro language is somewhat restricted... ;-) Maybe that gives you some ideas... Regarding ConTeXt, its included sample text (tufte, knuth, zapf etc.) = plus \fakewords were good enough for me.
