YAML documents in a stream may be preceded by directives composed of a percent sign (%) followed by a name and space delimited parameters.
YAML requires that colons and commas used as list seperators be followed by a space so that scalar values containing embedded punctuation (such as 5,280 or http://www.wikipedia.org can generally be represented without needing to be enclosed in quotes.

YAML is an intuitive way to describe nested data structures.
This module extends YAML's capabilities so that it ceases to be a static data structure and become something more active, with data and logic combined.

YAML, which appears to be growing rather than fading away.
YAML specification puts it, "YAML is more closely targeted at messaging and native data structures" than at structured documents.
Accordingly, my plain, concise description of YAML is that it's a processing model and a wiki-markup-esque way to represent relatively arbitrary, high-level language data structures.

In this article, David introduces you to YAML, a data serialization format that can be easily read by humans and is well-suited to encoding the data types used in dynamic programming languages.
YAML's focuses more narrowly on cleanly representing the data structures and data types you encounter in dynamic programming languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, and to a lesser extent, Java programming.
The YAML specification has recently reached 1.0 level, and it can be found in its full glory at http://yaml.org/spec/.

 YAML.rb is YAML for Ruby | Cookbook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
This version of the Yaml Cookbook focuses on the Ruby implementation of Yaml by comparing Yaml documents with their Ruby counterparts.
For example, YAML for Ruby uses type families to support storage of regular expressions, ranges and object instances.
A greater-then character, followed by an indented block of text is treated as a folded block, in which lines of text separated by a single newline are concatenated as a single line.

 YAML Ain't Markup Language
YAML document streams encode in a textual form the native data constructs of modern scripting languages.
A YAML document stream consists of a sequence of characters, some of which are considered part of the document's content, and others that are used to indicate document structure.
YAML seems to me to combine XML's structured text foundation and ASN.1's programming orientation, perhaps giving programmers the best of both of those worlds without their complications.

YAML is already included with the latest Ruby distribution, and I suspect that, with its tidy fit, it will find it's way into the others.
YAML is a little trickier to parse because it performs layout-based parsing, but it's a lot easier for a human to read.
