Subject: Re: RDoc: How to extend; YAML?

Eero:

I'm not directly interested in spitting out the yaml, I was interested in 
how the ri yaml had been generated since there wasn't an evident yaml rdoc 
generator.

As for hacking into the html builder, that's about what I was considering 
too.

I intended to add a new generator module, based on one or another of the 
existing one. But this led to the question I asked, which was how to 
structure such a project in a manner that worked *with* Ruby rather than 
against!

BTW, thanks for the offer, but hold off on effort that unless I get really 
stuck.

Thanks,

Graham
