Hi, is there already something to read a YAML file as a lua table in LuaMetaTeX? I didn’t find anything. My requirements are low, I just need to read some author data like: """ AstridLindgren: birth_year: '1907' death_year: '2002' name: Astrid Lindgren BTraven: birth_year: '1882' death_year: '1969' full_name: Bernhard Traven Torsvan name: B. Traven VolkerLudwig: birth_year: '1937' full_name: Eckart Hachfeld organization: GRIPS Theater name: Volker Ludwig """ Often, lyaml[1] is suggested, but that depends on libyaml (like a few other implementations) and looks far too heavy for that easy format. lua-yaml[2] is simpler. There’s even lua-tinyyaml[3] in CTAN. Do you have experience with any of them? I guess I’ll try the latter first.
