Issue #719 has been updated by Patrik Wenger. File yaml_specs.pdf added I think this is part of the YAML specification. It allows you to use blank lines to separate data structures. AFAIK, even the missing space isn't a bug, because YAML values start with the first non-whitespace on a line. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/719 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
