Me: Oh my gawsh people, YAML isn't that complex. Hey, how do I get rid of this trailing newline?

SO: "There are 5^H 6^H NINE (or 63*, depending how you count) different ways to write multi-line strings in YAML."

@k singular stylization helps make yaml easier to manage but it's not a very good markup lang even though it does work ok sometimes

@kobold I unironically love most of it but apparently there's a lot I don't know about it. Gonna have to read the standard directly I guess.

I'm doing ansible, so the tricky part was a multiline string that was jinja templated and whitespace mattered 😬
