I have a proposed patch: --- /Users/alanpinstein/Dumper.php.orig 2008-06-09 01:08:54.000000000 -0400 +++ /opt/local/lib/php/Horde/Yaml/Dumper.php 2008-06-09 01:08:57.000000000 -0400 @@ -153,6 +153,11 @@ $spaces = str_repeat(' ', $indent); + // quote strings if necessary + if (strchr($value, '#')) { + $value = "'{$value}'"; + } + if (is_int($key)) { // It's a sequence. $string = $spaces . '- ' . $value . "\n"; There might be more cases, and I don't know if this breaks in the case of folded code, but it's a start for you hopefully. This is a pretty important bug I think because it really breaks YAML dumping if you have this character in a string, which is a common occurrence.
