Sorry, this isn't an issue per se. I just wanted to say thanks for the changes you made in your fork. Not sure if you're going to continue but you inspired a bunch of changes to Pattern Lab. I'm an old dog so I'm still learning the new best practices for PHP. Again, thanks. You'll get credit in the next release.

Glad to see it inspired changes!

After I built the Symfony Console front end, it occurred to me that PatternLab is a very specific type of static site. In the world of static site generators, Jekyll is the n-hundred-pound gorilla in that we all know about, but if I'm sticking to the PHP requirement, Sculpin is a very well done project that takes care of any messy filesystem things.

At work, we're looking to integrate PatternLab into our design and development process, so I've also been looking to make PatternLab care less about which template engine is used to render the templates. We often use both Magento and WordPress, which use plain-ol-PHP as the template engine. So I've been looking to work up a standard interface for templates and their engines.

Anyway, you should see changes here again soon.
