+test: Indicators in Strings
+brief: >
+ Be careful using indicators in strings. In particular,
+ the comma, colon, and pound sign must be used carefully.
+yaml: |
+ the colon followed by space is an indicator: but is a string:right here
+ same for the pound sign: here we have it#in a string
+ the comma can, honestly, be used in most cases: [ but not in, inline collections ]

+test: Single-quoted Strings
+brief: >
+ You can also enclose your strings within single quotes,
+ which allows use of slashes, colons, and other indicators
+ freely. Inside single quotes, you can represent a single
+ quote in your string by using two single quotes next to
+ each other.
+yaml: |
+ all my favorite symbols: '#:!/%.)'
+ a few i hate: '&(*'
+ why do i hate them?: 'it''s very hard to explain'

+test: Double-quoted Strings
+brief: >
+ Enclosing strings in double quotes allows you
+ to use escapings to represent ASCII and
+ Unicode characters.

+test: Multi-line Quoted Strings
+todo: true
+brief: >
+ Both single- and double-quoted strings may be
+ carried on to new lines in your YAML document.
+ They must be indented a step and indentation
+ is interpreted as a single space.

+ i want a long string: "so i'm going to
+ let it go on and on to other lines
+ until i end it with a quote."
