YAML parsing fails when special characters occur

Description

In YAML configuration files, special characters like ' or : crash the YAML parser.

For instance, if a view.yml contains: 

default:
  metas:
    title:        symfony : open-source PHP5 web framework
    description:  that's symfony

...then both the title and the description will be wrongly interpreted.

I can confirm this behavior. This is probably a serious bug.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to invalid.

This is propor YAML processing. To use a special YAML character in the value wrap it in either single or double quotes. See here for examples
