Awesome! If colon > following space > newline and colon > newline should be treated the same, your original grammar has an error: it treats key > colon > newline as a valonly, not as a kvp. My initial attempt also fails, but I think the following updated grammar will work and will handle the colon without a following value on the same line correctly. ********************************** ********************************** doc = arrayline+. arrayline = -'- ', (valonly | kvp). valonly = (-key, not_val | not_key, val), -#a. -not_val = ':', ~[' ';#a], val | ~[':_';L], val. -not_key = ~[L;'_']. kvp = kcs, val, -#a | @key, -":", -#a. -val = ~[#a]*. -kcs = @key, -': '. key = [L;'_']+. ********************************** ********************************** ___________________________________________________ Dr. Bethan Tovey-Walsh linguacelta.com Golygydd | Editor geirfan.cymru Croeso i chi ysgrifennu ataf yn y Gymraeg. > On 2 Feb 2026, at 13:36, Fredrik Öhrström <oehrstroem@gmail.com> wrote: > > I think the space after colon before newline is optional when declaring a new object. > > > I hate YAML more and more passionately, the more you tell me about its weirdness! > > Yes, lets focus that feeling into crafting an ixml grammar.
