I need split a string into two or three lines in a file .yml. The problem is that if I try to split the last field description in two lines a error is triggered, therefore I leave it a one line
one:
id: 1
bus_company_id: 2
seat_type_id: 1
description: Butacas 120º de inclinación,
calefacción y aire acondicionado, música funcional y video.
two:
id: 2
bus_company_id: 2
seat_type_id: 2
description: Butacas de cuero y paño 120º de reclinación, bandeja de apoyo
para pies, calefacción y aire acondicionado, música funcional y video.
three:
id: 3
bus_company_id: 2
seat_type_id: 4
description: Butacas extra ancho de cuero y paño 150º de reclinación, bandeja de apoyo para pies,
desayuno, almohada y frazada, sistema de DVD y MP3.
four:
id: 4
bus_company_id: 2
seat_type_id: 5
description: Butacas de cuero 180º reclinación, bandeja de apoyo para pies de 180º de reclinación, cortina divisoria, almohada y frazadas sonido sourround, sistema de DVD y MP3, aire y calefacción, menú a elección de carne, pollo o verdura para su cena.
This error is triggered.

I think you want to use line break formatting described here. It looks like you have two options, here is a quick example that I put together using the ">" notation.
parse.rb file here:
require 'yaml'
foo = YAML.load_file('foo.yaml')
puts foo
Here is the content of the YAML file:
one_line: one line of text
two_lines:
>
this is a couple lines of text
here we go...
final_line: final line of content
When you run this via command line with ruby parse.rb, you will get the following output:
{"one_line"=>"one line of text", "two_lines"=>"this is a couple lines of text here we go...\n", "final_line"=>"final line of content"}
Hopefully that makes sense. I think you just need to add the ">" and move the text to the next line.
