Research direction

Start by reading the YAML::Emitter and YAML::Node APIs and the linked Stack Overflow discussion to understand how emitted multiline strings can be assigned to a node. Identify the relevant assignment and emitter tests, then define expected behavior for assigning an emitter to a node. Done means the requested assignment compiles and preserves the multiline string in the node's YAML output.

Description

feature help wanted

I'd like to be able to:

  YAML::Emitter out;
  out << YAML::Literal << val;            
  yamlContent[key] = out
