YAML multiline wrap without space

I tried to understand the specifications here but they're actually quite difficult to understand.

http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2779048

As far as I can see, there are three ways of wrapping text but their function is very similar... in fact so similar that I don't get the point in having all of them instead of one or two.

Well my problem is that I have some String that is really long (~700 characters) but has no whitespaces. Now of course I want to put it into multiple lines but there seems to be no way to do so without having any linefeeds or space characters that I do not want.

So is this actually possible?

Solution

It's possible. See. Is there a way to represent a long string that doesnt have any whitespace on multiple lines in a YAML document?

Double-quoted example:

"abcdefghi\
jklmnopqr\
stuvwxyz"

Single quotes may also work depending on the parsing library so YMMV.
