According to the YAML specs (both 1.1 and 1.2), `\\'` is *not* a valid escape character. The YAML library we use, SnakeYAML, has pushed back on adding it since it is not part of the spec. Why does MRI parse this invalid YAML? ```yaml --- !!seq [ !!str "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzpKasJJtRs", !!str "2Pac - Dont Care What Ya\'ll Think Remix Music Video 2017", ] ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
