lyaml.dump
lyaml.dump accepts a table of values to dump. Each value in the table
represents a single YAML document. To dump a table of lua values this means
the table must be wrapped in another table (the outer table represents the
YAML documents, the inner table is the single document table to dump).
lyaml.dump({ { foo = "bar" } })
--> ---
--> foo: bar
--> ...
lyaml.dump({ "one", "two" })
--> --- one
--> ...
--> --- two
--> ...
If you need to round-trip load a dumped document, and you used a custom
function for converting implicit scalars, then you should pass that same
function in the implicit_scalar field of the OPTS-TABLE argument to
lyaml.dump so that it can quote strings that might otherwise be
implicitly converted on reload.
