[I sent this a couple of days ago, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the archive, which makes me think it didn't go out to the list. Apologies if you get it twice. The update is, I've fixed the first two issues, and some others, in my fork of the code (http://github.com/eostrom/typo/tree/master). Haven't pursued the BlueCloth performance problem.]
Hi. I'm checking out Typo, with an eye to switching my WordPress blog away from it. It's neat that there's a WordPress converter, but it doesn't seem to go as far as it could. The first three issues I've found: - It didn't honor the 'more' line in my WordPress posts, although it did copy the 'more' line over. If I go to each post's edit page and then save it without making any edits, the 'more' line takes effect. - It copied all my spam comments over from WordPress, but didn't mark them as spam in Typo. That's how I got 304 comments on a pretty obscure post. - When I went to look at the post with 304 comments, it took long enough that I opted to shut down the server instead. It's not surprising that 304 comments would take a long time, but it turns out generating HTML for just one comment takes roughly 30 seconds. It was a long comment, but that's excessive. I'd be happy to try to help fix any or all of these - I think I have a grip on the first two problems already. I wanted to get some guidance on a few things: - It seems the slow part of rendering those comments is BlueCloth. First, I don't think these comments are even in Markdown (the legit ones or the spam). It looks like the default in WordPress is "HTML plus blank-lines-indicate-paragraphs". Should I just set the filter for these comments to something else? (If so, what?) - Is BlueCloth really this slow? I noticed that last week marked the release of BlueCloth 2, which speeds things up dramatically by using Discount (written in C). Is there any interest in updating Typo to include this new version? - There don't seem to be any tests for the converters, and I intend to uphold that tradition. I also don't plan to get my hands on a WordPress 2.5 database; I'm using 2.6. Should I just copy the wp25 converter to wp26, make it work for me, and leave wp25 alone?
