1) About Twig ============= Twig is a fast, secure and flexible template engine for php, implementing an own domain specific language which originated from Jinja and Django templates. It optionally can make use of a php5 extension, that enhances its performance. Further details can be found online at . 2) Twig in Debian ================= 2.1) Location of Twig's php code in Debian ------------------------------------------ Twig's php code is located at: /usr/share/php/Twig 2.2) Registering Twig's autoloader ---------------------------------- Since Twig is placed within the include_path used by default in Debian, no absolute path is needed to include twig. Therefore it is not recommended to use an absolute '/path/to/lib/Twig/Autoloader.php', as Twig's upstream suggests in its documentation, but simply use a relative 'Twig/Autoloader.php'. 2.2.1) Example code-snippet for registering Twig's autoloader ------------------------------------------------------------- 2.3) Enhancing the performance of Twig with its php5-twig extension -------------------------------------------------------------- A php5 extension written in C exists, that can speed up the Twig template engine. In Debian the Twig php code and the C extension are separated into two packages. The php5 C extension for Twig can be found in the package php5-twig. For more information check its package description. -- Daniel Beyer Sat, 29 Jun 2013 15:53:05 +0200
