    I dont think it is about discipline. At its core, a good test will take an example and do something with it to demonstrate an outcome.

    That's exactly what how to docs do - probably with the same examples.

    Logically, they should be the same thing.

    For example:

    https://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml/blob/master/hitch/s...

    And:

    https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/using/alpha/scalar/email-and...

    You just need a (non turing complete) language that is dual use - it generates docs and runs tests.

  • XML is better than YAML

    NestedText already is the way I use YAML; everything is intepreted as a string. I have some trust in my YAML parser to not mangle most strings. I could use NestedText, but users would be unfamiliar with it, and IIRC the only parsers are in Python. But then I could use StrictYaml too https://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml

  • DO YOU YAML?

    YAML stands for "YAML Ain’t Markup Language" - this is known as a recursive acronym. YAML is often used for writing configuration files. It’s human readable, easy to understand and can be used with other programming languages. Although YAML is commonly used in many disciplines, it has received criticism on the amoutn of whitespace .yml files have, difficulty in editing, and complexity of the standard. Despite the criticism, properly using YAML ensures that you can reproduce the results of a project and makes sure that the virtual environment packages play nicely with system packages. (If you're looking for another way to share environments there are other alternatives to YAML which include StrictYAML (a type-safe YAML parser) and NestedText)

    That safe subset exists and is implemented in a number of languages. It is called strict-yaml: https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/
