> The parsing time for Markdown documents can take very long an hang site generation when e.g. long tables are being generated.
> The author of pegdown has marked the pegdown project deprecated since 14.12.2016 [pegdown.org / https://github.com/sirthias/pegdown/](http://pegdown.org) and advises to switch to [flexmark-java] (https://github.com/vsch/flexmark-java).
> {quote}
> The project is essentially unmaintained with tickets piling up and crucial bugs not being fixed.
> pegdown's parsing performance isn't great. In some cases of pathological input runtime can even become exponential, which means that the parser either appears to "hang" completely or abort processing after a time-out.
> {quote}
> Since the parsing timeout was increased in [DOXIA-498] it is now possible to "hang" the site creation with a longer table like the one in this example.
> In case this sample is rendered using version 3.3 of the maven site
