Sculpin parsedown

Sculpin is a PHP static site generator, that use markdown file to store content. By default it's parse that files using php-markdown, that is a nice PHP markdown parser, but do not support flavored markdown from github and have some performance issues., _(*1)

This use the awesome parsedown library that is faster that php-markdown and support flavored markdown syntax., _(*2)

Performance

I used my blog as test platform with: * approx 100 posts * archive (paginated posts) * tags * categories * some static pages, _(*3)

Site is generated on a i7 CPU, an SSD disk and 16GB RAM., _(*4)

Using markdown:

real  0m8.954s
user  0m7.884s
sys   0m0.235s

Using parsedown:

real  0m6.115s
user  0m5.834s
sys   0m0.267s

the improvement is approx:, _(*5)

real  32%
user  26%
sys   12%

average 29% of improvement., _(*6)

Installation

To install add in your sculpin.json file the following package declaration:, _(*7)

{
    "require": {
        "mavimo/sculpin-parsedown": "@dev"
    }
}

Now you can update using sculpin update command., _(*8)

After that add the following definition in the sculpin_kernel.yml:, _(*9)

sculpin_markdown:
   parser_class: Mavimo\Sculpin\Bundle\ParsedownBundle\ParsedownConverter

Sculpin have a declared dependencie in bundle, so we need to manually patch it, in file:, _(*10)

src/Sculpin/Bundle/MarkdownBundle/MarkdownConverter.php

remove from line 14:, _(*11)

use Michelf\Markdown;

and transform line 48 from:, _(*12)

    public function __construct(Markdown $markdown, array $extensions = array())

to, _(*13)

    public function __construct(Markdown $markdown, array $extensions = array())

removing Markdown variable definition., _(*14)
