John, I still think the syntax is a little wet... When you're just specifying lists of things (like, apples, oranges and grapes):
apple: name: apple orange: name: orange grape: name: grape It'd be cool if you could collapse all that: fruits: grape, orange, apple (this being fruits.yml) alternatively - in DEFAULTS, you could have keys that have a 'collapse' value.... and that collapses to the block key.... OK, that probably makes no sense at all, but if it does, it'd be awesome if it had that support... - james On 23 Oct 2007, at 06:49, John Barnette wrote: > > On 10/22/07, Courtenay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> The syntax is great!
