Sculpin parsedown
=================

[](#sculpin-parsedown)

[Sculpin](http://sculpin.io) is a PHP static site generator, that use markdown file to store content. By default it's parse that files using [php-markdown](https://github.com/michelf/php-markdown), that is a nice PHP markdown parser, but do not support [flavored markdown from github](http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/) and have some performance issues.

This use the awesome [parsedown](http://parsedown.org) library that is faster that php-markdown and support flavored markdown syntax.

Performance
===========

[](#performance)

I used my blog as test platform with:

- approx 100 posts
- archive (paginated posts)
- tags
- categories
- some static pages

Site is generated on a i7 CPU, an SSD disk and 16GB RAM.

#### Using [markdown](https://github.com/michelf/php-markdown):

[](#using-markdown)

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

```

#### Using [parsedown](http://parsedown.org):

[](#using-parsedown)

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

```

the improvement is approx:

```
real  32%
user  26%
sys   12%

```

average **29%** of improvement.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

To install add in your `sculpin.json` file the following package declaration:

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

```

Now you can update using `sculpin update` command.

After that add the following definition in the `sculpin_kernel.yml`:

```
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:

```
src/Sculpin/Bundle/MarkdownBundle/MarkdownConverter.php

```

remove from line 14:

```
use Michelf\Markdown;
```

and transform line 48 from:

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

to

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

removing `Markdown` variable definition.
