Has anyone made a lens for YAML files?<br>

I noticed that cobbersettings.aug is a YAML-like file format.<br>
However, it doesn't handle 2 levels of indenting.<br>

I tried to extend cobblersettings.aug to handle something simple like this:<br>
<br>
key:<br>
- key2:<br>
- valA<br>
- valB<br>
<br>
However, coding that is beyond my level of expertise.<br>
<br>
Ultimately I need to add the "{ key: val, key2: val2}" notation<br>
because the files that I need to manipulate look like:<br>
<br>
key:<br>
- key2:<br>
- {key3: val3, key4: val4}<br>
- {key5: val5, key6: val6}<br>
- {key6: val6, key7: val7}<br>
key8: val8<br>
- key9:<br>
- {key10: val10, key11: val11}<br>
- {key12: val12, key12: val12}<br>
key13: val13<br>
<br>
However first I need to get through the issue of handling multiple<br>
levels of indentation. Suggestions?<br>
