/** 
 * A plugin that generates filler text when you load your page rather than pasting it into your source code and bloating it. 
 * 1. Uses the HTML5 data-attribute for options.
 * 2. main option is for which type of text you want.
 * 3. other options include trunication, leading & trailing (essentially a for loop behind the scenes),
