Dang I thought I fixed that. @spencer-cdw the link you have for the project without need to build is the wrong one - do you have an example? Or better...

yeah nice idea - I'm working on toml support at present, after I get that working I may work on this. Happy to receive PRs of course :)

That is odd - digging into the golang XML encoder - looks as though this was intentional: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12400 :/

I've made some progress with @pelletier toml library here: https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/pull/1439 - I haven't looked at it since last year. From memory I think the parsing is now working reasonably well...

I'm planning on releasing a readonly version next release :)
