<p>I am working with Rails fixtures for testing my rails application.  It is all good except one of my database columns is supposed to hold YAML content.  But, I am sure how to put the YAML markup I want to load into my database inside the YAML file.  Here is an example:</p>

<pre><code>mvnforum:
    name: mvnforum
    abstraction_type: SVN
    url: src: test username: admin #is this possible?
    sourcepath: mvnforum/src/
    webroot:
    codesecure_project: mvnforum
</code></pre>

<p>If it is impossible to have YAML inside a YAML file what would be the best why to load this into a database for testing?</p>

If you want to put YAML code inside a YAML document, you need to treat it like a string:
```
```
url: "src: test username: admin"
```
```
If you need a multiline string, you can do
```
```
mvnforum:
   name: mvnforum
   abstraction_type: SVN
   url: "
src: test\n
username: admin\n
"
   sourcepath: mvnforum/src/
   webroot:
   codesecure_project: mvnforum
```
```
