Indentation of sequence elements #224
Comments
I actually prefer this representation and use it across all YAML files I write manually. |
Anyone ? Is libyaml even maintained ? |
@galdor I too would really appreciate the ability to be able to output sequences with this style of indentation. |
I'd like this feature to be implemented, too. I can think of three different ways we might want to do that:
Any maintainer input here? I understand this is probably a lower priority item than some other issues. |
I agree that many huge yaml files with nested values would be easy to read if the emitter produce sequences with indentation. |
In the current version (0.2.5) the emitter does not indent sequence elements for the block sequence style, e.g.:
While correct, it is way harder to read than the more conventional representation where sequence elements are indented:
This is quite noticeable in large documents with lots of deeply nested values.
Would it be possible to add an option to support this kind of output ?
Looking at the repository, I am not sure who is in charge of coordinating development for libyaml, so any pointer is welcome :) I may be able to provide a patch if someone can provide a minimum of guidance and is ok with merging it and releasing a new version.
A lot of libraries in various languages rely on libyaml, this would help lots of people !
