Make parsing of YAML input a bit saner

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 2 comments

As it stands, it's somewhat nonstandard across questions to make use of YAML's abilities, such as producing Lists. Instead, this is implemented in some places as splitting a string by semicolon. We should eliminate this behavior and replace it with use of YAML-standard features.

Absolutely right. The semicolon thing is a vestige of R swirl's early days.

All of the standard courses seem to mostly be cured of this.
