UseFold in YAML

[Gerard A.W. Vreeswijk]

Hi there,

I try YAML to fold newlines. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
What's happening here? Thanks.


require 'yaml'

text = "Just got my (dead-tree, printed-on-paper, I don't know if there's a web " +
"version) copy of Linux Magazine for September, 2002. There's an article by " +
"Dave Thomas about building networked applications in Ruby. Props to Dave!"

hash = { 'key' => text }

puts text.to_yaml( :UseFold => true,
:BestWidth => 15 )

produces:
