The code

require 'yaml'
puts YAML.load("
is_something:
  values: ['yes', 'no']
").to_yaml

produces

--- 
is_something: 
  values: 
  - "yes"
  - "no"

While this is a correct yaml, it just looks ugly when you have a hash of arrays. Is there a way for me to get to_yaml to produce the inline array version of the yaml?

An options hash can be passed to to_yaml but how do you use it?

Edit 0: Thanks Pozsár Balázs. But, as of ruby 1.8.7 (2009-04-08 patchlevel 160), the options hash does not work as advertised. :(
