This is a simple Template Toolkit Plugin Interface to the \s-1YAML\s0 module.
A \s-1YAML\s0 object will be instantiated via the following directive:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& [% USE YAML %]

As a standard plugin, you can also specify its name in lower case:

These are the methods supported by the \s-1YAML\s0 object.
.ie n .SS "dump( @variables )"
.el .SS "dump( \f(CW@variables\fP )"
.IX Subsection "dump( @variables )"
Generates a raw text dump of the data structure(s) passed
.PP
.Vb 3
\& [% USE Dumper %]
\& [% yaml.dump(myvar) %]
\& [% yaml.dump(myvar, yourvar) %]
.Ve
.ie n .SS "dump_html( @variables )"
.el .SS "dump_html( \f(CW@variables\fP )"
.IX Subsection "dump_html( @variables )"
Generates a dump of the data structures, as per \f(CW\*(C`dump\*(C'\fR, but with the
characters <, > and & converted to their equivalent \s-1HTML\s0
entities, spaces converted to and newlines converted to
.
.PP
.Vb 2

.Ve
.ie n .SS "undump( $string )"
.el .SS "undump( \f(CW$string\fP )"
.IX Subsection "undump( $string )"
Converts a YAML-encoded string into the equivalent data structure.
Here's a way to deep-copy a complex structure by completely serializing
the data.
.PP
.Vb 4
\& [% USE yaml;
\& yaml_string = yaml.dump(complex_data_structure);

.ie n .SS "dumpfile( $file, @variables )"
.el .SS "dumpfile( \f(CW$file\fP, \f(CW@variables\fP )"
.IX Subsection "dumpfile( $file, @variables )"
Converts the data to \s-1YAML\s0 encoding, and dumps it to the specified
filepath.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& [% USE yaml; yaml.dumpfile(".storage", my_data) %]
.Ve
.ie n .SS "undumpfile( $file )"
.el .SS "undumpfile( \f(CW$file\fP )"
