I'd like to do this
test: >
This is a long string
\n\n\n
with new lines
But it prints out the "\n" instead of making new lines.
I know it's possible to do
test: "This is a long string
\n\n\n
with new lines"
But i'd rather not add quotes everywhere if possible. Thanks for the help!
EDIT: I'd rather not use empty lines. In other words, i'd like to use \n to show empty lines to make my yml file more readable.
Came across this while asking the same question. I found another solution using the \n in string. When I used eval(str) it worked as expected.
Sorry for the use of Python, but I don't code in Ruby. However, I was looking at the documentation and it appears to have the same eval function: https://www.rubydoc.info/stdlib/core/Kernel:eval
Example YAML:
text: >
"This is the 1st row sentence.\n\n\n"
"This is the 4th row sentence."
Example Python:
print(eval(yaml_string))
# returns:
# This is the 1st row sentence.
#
#
# This is the 4th row sentence.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
to print a new line in yaml you can do the following code I am using the degub module msg func like this
debug:
msg:
- 'hello'
- 'name'
