Parsing YAML Frontmatter in Ruby
I was trying to fix a non-issue with YAML by throwing Ruby gems at it. nanoc and Jekyll and the like provide YAML metadata for their content files: Google said this is called YAML Frontmatter. So I was looking at a way to parse YAML Frontmatter of plain text files, searching for gems – until I found the laconic answer on StackOverflow: what’s wrong with YAML’s standard features?
