YAML Gotchas
This page attempts to document a couple of YAML particulars that you might run across when editing comment and pragma files.
- Boolean Switches
- To represent true as a boolean value, use +, (true), (Yes), or (ON). Likewise, use -, (false), (No), or (OFF) to represent false.
- Quoting
- Since the YAML spec is in a bit of flux regarding what’s interpreted as a string and what isn’t, it’s safest to quote anything that doesn’t start with a letter.
