Hi.... I need help :-/

1)
"Array" of "String" objects
each String is a news article
dumping Array .to_yaml gives:

--- !seq
- "Path: ...!not-for-mail\nFrom: ...
- "Path: ...!not-for-mail\nFrom: ...
- "Path: ...!not-for-mail\nFrom: ...
- |
  Path: ...!not-for-mail
  From: ...
  Subject: ...
[...]
- "Path: ...!not-for-mail\nFrom: ...
- "Path: ...!not-for-mail\nFrom: ...
[...]

Question: Why are some articles one liners with \n while others are
dumped in original linebreak style?


2) in yaml4r cookbook:

>Simple Inline Array
>Sequences can be contained on a single line, using the inline syntax. 

So arrays don't dump in
seq: 
  - a
  - b
  - c

but in
seq: [ a, b, c ]

Question: So far I was unable to dump the short style from Ruby - how 
to...?


3) yaml+bzip2

The yaml ascii dumps may get large, any easy way to auto filter 
load/save through bzip2?


Thanks!
Martin
