Hi

Thanks for the very quick responses and action. Ruby's YAML parser seems to parse your example alright, though converting the result back to YAML again seems to yield a slightly different order of elements... That seems to be a Ruby YAML module issue though, not one for the API.

I haven't installed MediaWiki locally myself to check the fix works, but took a look at the code, and the fix seems to make sense. One small issue: your code seems to handle : and # inside strings, but comment #3 on the bug says it handles it at the beginning of strings. Typo?

Eagerly awaiting the fix to go live on Wikipedia etc. :-)

Thanks,
Loek

Bug 12120 (the escaping issue) has been fixed on trunk, it could take a
few days (or weeks) before it goes live on Wikipedia and friends. I'll
also try to get this fix into the final 1.12 release.

In the meantime, please read comment #3 on bug 12120 [1] and verify that
the example I provided validates in your YAML parsers.
