Ha! I thought YAML stood for "Yet Another Markup Language"! :o)

Why not use XML? A while back I used YAML to specify input in ruby for generating Fortran95/2003 boilerplate code and,
as my input data structure grew more complicated, the YAML file became quite difficult for a human to parse (or create.
"Don't forget the '-' after the indent"-type of thing)

XML solved that.

And IDL has an XML parser already I believe.

Anyhoo....

cheers,
